A true story based in Westchester County, They Call Me Dimmock is a riveting narrated courtroom drama set in the 1850s that follows our main character, Dimmock, from Africa through 45 years of enslavement to his self-emancipation in NY. Dimmock races against time to reclaim his kidnapped granddaughter, secretly hidden in Ossining, confronting power, law, and the true cost of freedom, with John Jay as his ally.
