This documentary captures the sounds and images of a nearly forgotten era in film history when African American filmmakers and studios created “race movies” exclusively for black audiences. The best of these films attempted to counter the demeaning stereotypes of black Americans prevalent in the popular culture of the day. About 500 films were produced, yet only about 100 still exist. Filmmaking pioneers like Oscar Micheaux, the Noble brothers, and Spencer Williams, Jr. left a lasting influence on black filmmakers, and inspired generations of audiences who finally saw their own lives reflected on the silver screen.

제목대로 “나는 좀비와 함께 걸었다”는 내레이션으로 시작되는 영화는, 자칫 현재의 좀비영화를 생각한다면 커다란 실망감을 줄 수도 있다. 이것은 우리가 지금 알고 있는 좀비영화도 아닐뿐더러 어떤 면에서는 대단한 사건도 일어나지 않는, 그래서 분위기와 인물만이 부각되는 영화이기 때문이다. 영화는 캐나다 출신의 간호사 벳시가 폴이라는 농장주의 아내 제시카를 돌보는 일을 하러 서인도 제도로 떠나면서 시작된다. 제시카는 심한 열병에 걸린 뒤로 살아 있는 시체나 다름없는 상태에 빠져 있다. 그런데 벳시는 그만 폴과 사랑에 빠지고 폴을 위해 제시카를 살려내겠다며 부두교 주술의 힘을 빌리려 한다. 삶과 죽음, 초자연적인 요소와 일상의 삶이 실존적인 갈등을 벌이는 양상을 다룬 이 영화는 투르뇌르적인 모호함의 한 정점을 보여주면서 그것이 어떻게 매력으로 치환될 수 있는지를 증명한다. 벽에 드리운 그림자와 불길한 사운드가 두려움의 분위기를 조성하는 데 얼마나 효과적일 수 있는지를 보여주는 영화이다
