Haiti Zombies

In the West, zombies may be considered the stuff of Hollywood B films but in Haiti they’re part of everyday life. Zombies are taken so seriously here that turning someone into one carries the same penalty as murder. But, as this documentary shows, outlawing the practice is doing little to stop it. We look at how Haiti’s troubled political climate is encouraging child sacrifice and murder.
