SYNOPSIS …..
Origin is an outstanding biographical drama film written and directed by Ava DuVernay. It is based on the life of award-winning author Isabel Wilkerson (Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor) as she writes the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Over the course of the film, Wilkerson travels throughout Germany, India, and the United States to research the caste systems in each country's history — the Holocaust, Dalits/untouchables, and slavery/racism — to prove how they are interconnected. Despite the colossal scope of her project, she finds beauty and bravery while crafting one of the defining American books of our time — Caste, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller and spent 58 weeks on the bestseller list in hardcover.
