In this short, stop-motion animation, captured Africans are travelling by slave ship through the Middle Passage when they're thrown from the boat. But rather than drown or simply sink to their deaths, they're saved by a community of mermaids who preserve their souls, preventing them from ever being forgotten. This beautiful fantasy story by Gabrielle Tesfaye brings light and hope to the topic of entrapment and slavery and paints mermaids in a positive and helpful light, something that not all mermaid stories do. Rather than be sirens luring people the wrong way, these mermaids provide a beacon of light.
