ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Water Dancer” by Ta-Nehisi Coates follows Hiram Walker, a young man born into slavery with a mysterious power called Conduction, which allows him to transport people. Set during the time of the Underground Railroad, the novel explores Hiram's journey to freedom as he grapples with his identity, his painful memories, and the legacy of slavery. Through Hiram’s relationships—particularly with his family and the influential Harriet Tubman—the book delves into themes of memory, trauma, love, and the collective fight for freedom, examining both the physical and emotional challenges of escaping oppression.
