title: Retaliation
author: Ductan, Philama
description: When a religion is favored by the uneducated and the downtrodden, it’s hard to tell the difference between tradition and reality. It’s a long trek, especially to a teenager who has held Christian values and witnessed the most horrifying voodoo ceremony. Kootan offers us a fresh perspective in the inner workings of voodoo – both ancient and modern – and takes it upon himself to enlighten the believers. To get to the bottom of the way ancestral spirits come and go, he’s inclined to use every means at his disposal and everyone around him. What he uncovers is the yearning of his own life.
