'Eve's Bayou' Brings Post-Memory Towards West-Indian Culture
In an all-black community in Louisiana, a young girl learns her father has committed infidelity and turns to hoodoo to seek justice.

This film is a Mondo film, which only shows various forms of violence, images of accidents and dead people. This film, after a brief introduction from the director, is not intended to glorify violence, but only to show the reality. Images of surveillance cameras showing shopkeepers being threatened with weapons, amateur videos of Colombian drug trafficking, executions and skull collections are shown here. As the film progresses, one sees various deformities of newborn and unborn babies. The film concludes with a hip hop music video.
