Carry Me By the River

Carry Me By the River is a cinematic short rooted in themes of memory, pain, and reckoning. Created in honor of Black History Month, this piece is part of a broader effort to tell stories that have too often gone unheard — stories buried beneath history, silence, and survival. At its core, this film explores revenge, get-back, and vengeance — not as empty violence, but as emotional consequences of injustice left unresolved. It examines what happens when wounds are never acknowledged, when grief is passed down, and when the past refuses to stay buried. The river serves as both a symbol and a witness — carrying the weight of history, secrets, and souls that were never given closure. This story isn’t about glorifying revenge; it’s about confronting it, understanding where it comes from, and recognizing why so many untold stories still demand to be heard. Carry Me By the River is a reflection on justice delayed, voices silenced, and the emotional toll of histories that continue to echo into the present.
