For my final project, I’d like to focus on the short film The Water Will Carry Us Home and how it greatly supports the claim that water holds history, in particular the history of the transatlantic slave trade acknowledging the often silenced side of history which is the victims side. I just know that I want to focus on that general idea, I need to fine tune it a bit more but I will certainly include film stills to help my argument.

What do you mean by “water holds history”? How and where does this happen? In other words, you need to get far more specific about WHAT specifically you plan to look at in the film and how it matters. Keep going in your explanation and interpretations.
