T&T Folklore Pt. 3: DUENNE

"On the beautiful island republic of Trinidad & Tobago there lies a dark, foreboding folklore buried deep in the psyche and history of its people. Where tales of Black Magic, the Soucouyant, Duenne, La Diablesse and other macabre and mysterious occurrences remain largely hidden to the outside world, but sometimes in the rural areas and even in the city'sunderground, there are people on these islands who remain convinced of the existence of these strange phenomenons.

This documentary (now web series) charts its possible origins through revealing interviews with such academics as Professor Gordon Rholer and Professor Bridgette Brereton of the University of the West Indies, and historians Gerard Besson and Michael Anthony. Blended together with re-enactments, historical photographs and illustrations, this documentary is a must have for people seeking a deeper understanding of the culture that makes up this complex society."
