Haitian voodooism is a religion with a painful past marked by oppression and a controversial reputation. Practiced in Haiti for over 200 years, it has been recently recognized as the country’s official religion on a par with Catholicism and Protestantism. Living in the poorest country in the Americas, Haitians are still very much in touch with the spirits of their ancestors and rely on them to ease their daily struggles. RT correspondents discover that, contrary to the popular belief, #Voodoo is not a black magic cult, but a system of beliefs that Haitians turn to for comfort, strength and hope.
