Santeria - Cuba

Nov 2003
More and more Cubans are turning to the popular religion of Santeria for spiritual guidance.

In the tiny Cuban town of Regla, a woman is throwing a party for her saint. She watches in delight as her 'saint' writhes to the drums, spitting rum at the guests to cleanse their souls. Santeria was bought to Cuba by African slaves and quickly developed into a home-grown religion. Now 80% of the population are thought to believe in it.
