In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, director Maya Annik Bedward discusses BLACK ZOMBIE, a documentary exploring the cultural and historical roots of the zombie. Bedward challenges misconceptions about Haitian Vodou and examines the zombie's connection to slavery, lost autonomy and the struggle for freedom. She also explores how modern zombie stories have evolved from their earlier depictions and what these transformations reveal about popular culture. Ultimately, Bedward reflects on the power of storytelling to reclaim history, identity and what has been taken.
BLACK ZOMBIE is available in select theatres now and is available on CBC Gem on October 30th, 2026.
