Meeting up with Voudou through Buddhist interfaith events? I love the idea. Great integration of the drumming and music with narration and photographic documentation.

What's you relationship with Stephanie Keith?

We were producing a program on Haitian Vodou (http://speakingoffaith.org/programs/vodou/) when our online editor found one of her photographs of a "party" on Flickr. He asked her permission to use one of her images and found she had visited a good number of ceremonies and thought it be a visually interesting story to tell. It's been a great experience.
