@muiren We watched Origins last night, excellent, just as we’d expected of Ava DuVernay, and are glad to see our local public library has Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents in multiple formats, including large print, sound recording, and book adaptation for young adults. montereylibrary.org/cgi-bin/ko

DVD cover for “Origin,” written and directed by Ava DuVernay; “a brilliant cinematic masterpiece” (wrote Dana Feldman, Forbes) starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. The art is a profile of the face of a Black woman, includlng her upper body; her image is part of a jigsaw puzzle; the back of her head is not visible, and some puzzle pieces are placed on her head and shoulder.

Just watched #AvaDuVernay’s film Origin on Netflix and that was probably the most emotional film I’ve seen recently. It’s about #IsabelWilkerson’s 2020 book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, and I definitely recommend this underrated film.

Fair warning: the film deals with heavy subjects including racism in the United States, the Holocaust in Nazi Germany, and the caste system in India, bookmarked with the murder of Trayvon Martin, and it can be triggering.

Movie poster for the film Origin featuring a side profile of a black woman’s face at the lower right looking up towards the upper left. The background is a gentle gradient from desaturated green at the top to a light desaturated yellow-green at the bottom. The top half of the poster has the following elements: Logo of the Neon production company which shows a stylized “NEON” text. “Monumental” —Variety “An exhortation to use every heartbeat wisely” —Time Written and directed by Ava DuVernay ORIGIN Own it now on digital Starring Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor Logo of the Venice International Film Festival stating that the movie is an official selection
