TL;DR

Ava DuVernay's film "Origin" is a biopic not of a writer but of a book, focusing on Isabel Wilkerson's groundbreaking work "Caste" and its exploration of race and social hierarchies. The film delves into Wilkerson's journey to formulate her thesis and aims to prompt a rethinking of race in the 21st century. Through a non-linear narrative and compelling performances, the movie navigates historical injustices and societal structures, emphasizing the importance of asking questions and seeking collective solutions for a better future.
