ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates tells the story of Hiram, a young enslaved man in Virginia with a remarkable photographic memory. Born into bondage with a white father and enslaved mother, Hiram discovers he also possesses a mysterious power called Conduction, which allows him to transport people across vast distances through the power of memory.

Hiram's journey begins with his escape from slavery and involvement with the Underground Railroad, where he learns to harness his power to help others. As he delves deeper into this secret world, he grapples with questions of identity, family, and the legacy of slavery, confronting painful truths about his past and the complexities of freedom.
