"Montre un épisode de la vie des Haouka de la ville d'Accra, au Ghena. La secte des Haouka s'est formée en 1927. Elle est considérée comme le résultat du mouvement de révolte qui a envahi les jeunes face à la civilisation mécanique occidentale importée par les anglais et qui venait bousculer leurs croyances et leurs habitudes. Plusieurs scènes de violence au cours de certaines cérémonies recommandent une projection uniquement aux personnes averties."
"About the ceremony of a religious sect, the Hauka, which was widespread in West Africa from the 1920s to the 1950s. Supplicants consult the god through the trancing medium and receive advice about their problems. This ceremony was filmed by Jean Rouch in 1954 in a farm near Accra Ghana."@en
"Ethnographic filmmaker Jean Rouch has recorded a satirical, quasi-religious reenactment of British imperial ceremony by a group of Ghanaian men and women, mostly rural migrants working menial jobs in Accra. As they become deeply involved, the reenactment begins to resemble a religious revival, with "speaking in tongues" and physical convulsions. Raises interesting questions about oppression, suppression and the acting out of repressed desires."@en
"A look at an episode in the life of a strange religious sect, founded in 1927, and practiced in the vicinity of Accra, the capital of Ghana. The sect, known as Haouka after the collective name of its gods and spirits, practices animal sacrificial rites as a means of purification and ceremonial dances aimed at inducing trance states and agitated possession by the various gods."@en

"The film depicts the annual ceremony of the Hauku cult, a social and religious movement which was widespread in French colonial Africa from the 1920's to the 1950's. Participants in the ceremony mimic the elaborate military ceremonies of their colonial occupiers, but in more of a trance than true recreation."
"A documentary film about the Hauka, a widespread religious sect which peaked in Africa from the 1920's to the 1950's while colonialism thrived. The sect usually attracted rural migrants heading from Niger to the Gold Coast to find jobs. During the ritual Rouch filmed, the Hauka entered a trance like state, possessed by spirits associated with western colonial powers. Despite efforts to suppress the movement, it didn't die down until colonialism ended."
"A detailed cinema verité presentation of an annual ceremony, accompanied by spirit possession, of the Hauka cult of the Songhay and Djerma people of Ghana, which is seen in the context of European colonialism."@en
"A disturbing documentary by French filmmaker, Jean Rouch, about the West African religious sect called Haouka. Hitherto secret rituals of the sect are candidly recorded by Rouch with many images of violence as animals are sacrificed and sect members enter frenzied trances and mutilate themselves with fire. The rituals of the sect are parodies of the military and diplomatic ceremonies of British colonial rule, and Rouch questions the psychic effect of western civilization on African cultures."@en
"Venus de la brousse aux villes de l'Afrique Noire, les jeunes hommes se heurtent à la civilisation mécanique. Ainsi naissent des conflits et des religions nouvelles. Ainsi s'est formée, vers 1927, la secte des Haouka. Ce film montre une épisode de la vie des Haouka de la ville d'Accra. Il a été tourné à la demande des prêtres fiers de leur art, Mountyeba et Moukayla. Aucune scène n'est interdite ou secrète mais ouverte à ceux qui veulent bien jouer le jeu. Ce jeu violent n'est que le reflet de notre civilisation."
"Documents religious ceremonies of the Haouka, a West African sect, in which participants worship the gods of technology, confess sins, nominate new members, and are possessed during trances by spirits representing British colonial figures. Contrasts the Haoukas' role in the ritual with their daily occupations, typically as menial laborers. Includes animal sacrifice, blood drinking, and other graphic scenes."
