The Water Will Carry Us Home in the “shellphones” scene shares that history has been lost and in order to find it it has to be searched for by using new perspectives. In this case listening instead of looking, by changing the way she understands the ocean a new side of history can be uncovered.

I really enjoyed this film and wanted to try and encapsulate the lesson I learned from it, and how history is not one truth and in changing perspectives we can see that. I am still making sure my thesis is strong enough so let me know if you have any advice!
