For my final essay I decided to extend on my second essay of Gabrielle Tesfaye but also try to incorporate The Deep as a second text as I believe they are both similar in story telling and the stories that are hidden from the world, but also with the story of slaves being thrown overboard. Any feedback is very appreciated :).

Thesis: In the short film The Water Will Carry Us Home by Gabrielle Tesfaye shows the demonstration of how selected stories portray what is known to be history. Tesfaye conveys this message through the use of stop motion art which is able to produce a story. This is significant as it shows a side of history that is not told or paid more attention to and it also shapes viewers thinking about the history that is already known.
