Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti is a black and white documentary film about dance and possession in Haitian vodou, featuring footage shot by experimental filmmaker Maya Deren between 1947 and 1952.

"Maya Deren was a brilliant filmmaker and theorist whose substantial body of films and writings has paled beside the even larger legend of her life and death. At the center of the legend is the film, never finished in her lifetime, that she made in Haiti between 1947 and 1951, of the voodoo dances and ritual ceremonies into which she became initiated." B. Ruby Rich
