When the slave ships docked in North America, Brazil, and the Caribbean, hundreds of cultures, traditions, and religions landed with the Africans on board, one transcended slavery beyond imagination and remains alive till this day in the New World: the Yoruba culture.

Shot in six countries with research and interviews from around the world, this film takes you on a journey through Brazil, the United States, Cuba, Trinidad & Tobago and back to where it all began in West Africa.
