SistaGod is a 2006 Trinidadian fantasy drama, the first in a trilogy[1] by director Robert Yao Ramesar.
The film is surreal, with a haunting musical score and Orisha songs sung by female calypsonian Ella Andall.
Trinidadian Carnival plays an integral part in the film, with the use of traditional characters that are still popular today.
A white American soldier, serving in the Gulf War as a sniper, is washed ashore on Trinidadian soil.
One day, out of curiosity, Mari picks a bunch of poisoned berries from a tree and eats them.
Believing that Mari is possessed by a spirit, Nan hires a popular televangelist to exorcise her.
The televangelist ultimately gives up, and assumes that Nan's house is possessed and is causing her adopted granddaughter to act strange.
Her father had returned to Trinidad years ago to open a pub, with its walls painted with images from the Gulf War.
The mother, after hearing this shocking news, threatens to fling herself off the top of a waterfall located near her hometown.
Her adopted grandmother floats with her, followed by her father, and the televangelist who has his arms outstretched with a Bible in his left hand.
All the participants are dressed as traditional Carnival characters such as Burrokeets, Bats, Midnight Robbers, Bookmen, Dame Lorraines and the bizarre Blue Devils.
Realizing that the end is near, Mari asks a nearby Bookman(who is holding a book containing names of souls going to Hell) if there is any room there for the rest of humanity.
She assumes that the gods are the only other survivors, as she passes a gigantic statue of the Hindu monkey-god Hanuman.
She gives birth, as is symbolized by a light (similar to the one that illuminated her mouth during the exorcism) between her legs.
