‘The Water Will Carry Us’ is a gripping, powerful film that tells the story of stolen Africans being thrown from the slave ship during the Middle Passage. But upon crashing into the waves, the unimaginable happens with Yoruba Orishas dwelling in the waters to save these spirits. With the use of some gorgeous stop-motion animation, artist Gabrielle Tesfaye brings the mythology of mermaids and Orishas to us.
