About the Film
Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Ava DuVernay, “Origin” chronicles the tragedy and triumph of Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson as she investigates a global phenomenon of epic proportions. Portrayed by Academy Award nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (“King Richard”), Isabel experiences unfathomable personal loss and love as she crosses continents and cultures to craft one of the defining American books of our time. Inspired by the New York Times best-seller “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents,” “Origin” explores the mystery of history, the wonders of romance and a fight for the future of us all.
“‘Origin’ is a sincere, passionate, and excellently acted film that takes us on a discovery, with wonder, of fascinating historical situations.” – Los Angeles Times
