TL;DR

Ava DuVernay's new film "Origin," based on Isabel Wilkerson's book "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents," explores the global phenomenon of caste and its impact on societies. The trailer showcases the film's interwoven narrative, featuring scenes of a Nazi rally juxtaposed with images of India and modern-day America. Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor leads an ensemble cast, and the film is set for release on January 19. Despite positive reviews, "Origin" has yet to gain traction in the awards season.
