Overview

Faith keeps you going. Or not? During Thanksgiving, Martijn and Finbarr meet blues legend Lucious Spiller, who performs Walk With Me Lord. They meet Christian fundamentalists, but also people who have completely abandoned their faith. The legacy of African religious expressions has led to a new form of spirituality: American hoodoo. Martijn and Fin attend a hoodoo meeting in New Orleans, where a group of women help each other heal the trauma and pain of their ancestors. And so they end up at a secret meeting of doulas, who give advice to pregnant women, including about abortion.
