The film 'Origin' by Ava DuVernay is an ambitious attempt to translate Isabel Wilkerson's nonfiction 'Caste' into narrative cinema, presenting the author as the protagonist exploring the connections among racism, Nazi persecution, and India's caste system.
The movie delves into case studies from Wilkerson's research and starts with the Trayvon Martin case, leading the protagonist to realize that simple racism isn't the sole explanation, prompting a deeper quest into social hierarchies across cultures.
