Conjure in the Culture & Arts Continued

i've come across what promises to be an eye opening documentary on Conjure titled The United States of Hoodoo (2012) by Oliver Hardt and written by Darius James and Oliver Hardt. the distribution website states, "The United States of Hoodoo is a film about how African American based spirituality has influenced American culture." here's the link if you'd like to read more: http://hoodoo.stokedfilm.com/

 the film is available for rent or sale on Vimeo. i plan to watch it later this week after completing my final teaching gig for the summer at Howard Community College. (looking forward to reclaiming some free time head space for the next 3 weeks!!) anyone care to watch the film with me? i would appreciate your thoughts/responses as we continue to explore what Conjure is and isn't, how it shows up in our culture, and--of particular interest to me--how we give life to this topic in different artistic forms and mediums.
