. . An intersection of culture takes place at an intersection in the 9th Ward of New Orleans. A White woman leads a vodou ritual to drive away the drug dealers that plague her neighborhood. Most of the participants are White, most of the onlookers are Black, yet they share the same needs. The police here are infamously ineffective at protecting the neighborhood from violence. That is why the community is going back to an older tradition for a solution, willing to come together at a crossroads both spiritual and cultural. As the summer progresses the rituals are done at intersections throughout the neighborhood, and the crime rate goes down.
