Black Zombie

Black screen. 

[CRICKETS CHIRP SOFTLY]  

The darkness fades and reveals a corn field, pictured in black and white.  

The text “Third Culture Media” appears over the corn field.  

Then the text “and Hungry Eyes Media present” appears just below “Third Culture Media.”  

This text disappears and is replaced with “a documentary Channel Original.” The camera pushes further into the corn field and the text disappears.  

[BIRD CALL]  

A different view of corn stalks in the dark.  

[MUSIC WITH HAUNTING VOCALIZING BEGINS]  

SPEAKER #1 (in subtitled Haitian Creole voiceover): In Haiti, everyone talks about zombies.  

A person begins to emerge from the corn field.  

Broken corn stalks on the ground. A bare foot steps onto the corn stalks.  

SPEAKER #1 (in subtitled Haitian Creole voiceover): But it’s not like what they show on TV.  

Torso view of a person walking through the corn field, hands at their side.  

SPEAKER #1 (in subtitled Haitian Creole voiceover): It's not The Walking Dead.  

Three people, their faces obscured by shadow, walk through the corn field.  

SPEAKER #1 (in subtitled Haitian Creole voiceover): Here, zombies are real.  

The three people come to a standstill, faces still obscured by shadow and corn stalks.  

Close-up on the face of one of the people, their face still mostly consumed by shadow.  

Close-up on a person’s hand at their side.  

SPEAKER #1 (in subtitled Haitian Creole voiceover): Zombies are victims.  

Wide view of six people standing in the corn field, obscured by shadow. The camera pushes in slowly.  

SPEAKER #1 (in subtitled Haitian Creole voiceover): Turning someone into a zombie is like putting them back into slavery.  

Close-up on the face of a person in the corn field, their eyes wide and their features visible. 

SPEAKER #1 (in subtitled Haitian Creole voiceover): Forever.  

Cut to black.  

[MUSIC ENDS]  

[WIND SOUND]  

The text “Black Zombie” appears on the black screen.  

Text fades and the screen goes black.
