Since the 1960s, Candomblé has featured in various films, such as "The Given Word" (1962) and "The Amulet of Ogum" (1974), as well as documentaries like Geraldo Sarno's "Iaô" (1974). The Brazilian novelist Jorge Amado makes repeated references to Candomblé throughout his work. In the 1980s, the American writer Toni Morrison visited Brazil to learn more about Candomblé. She subsequently combined ideas from Candomblé with those of Gnosticism in her depiction of the religion pursued by "The Convent", an all-female community in her 1991 novel "Paradise".
