This Tuesday, join our friends at Savor Cinema For

This Tuesday, join our friends at Savor Cinema Fort Lauderdale for the Florida Premiere of BLACK ZOMBIE with director Maya Annik Bedward and �Mambo Labelle Déesse Jr. in attendance.

There’s no denying that the “Zombie” has become one of horror’s most enduring monsters. There have been films, books, and documentaries on the films and books… You get the idea. The “zombie” is part of the modern-day lexicon; everyone knows what a zombie is, but filmmaker Maya Annik Bedward wants audiences to understand where the monster really came from.

The documentary examines the history of the zombie long before Hollywood transformed it into the flesh-eating creature audiences know today. Tracing its origins to Haitian spiritual traditions and the legacy of colonialism and slavery, Black Zombie explores how a symbol rooted in oppression and survival evolved into one of the most profitable figures in horror culture.�
