Description
Rich and inventive, Heaven Earth & Hell is an experimental narrative documentary that charts a course through African, Christian and Native American cosmologies to tell a tale of love, loss and a search for freedom in two parallel inter-racial relationships. Reflecting on the "trickster" figure in African and African-American culture, while recounting the story of his first love, Harris creates a graceful lament for the loss of innocence in a world without magic.
