Origin
Overview
Ava DuVernay turns a dense book about caste into a personal, emotional journey. Journalist Isabel Wilkerson travels across Germany, India, and America tracing how societies rank human lives — while grieving her own losses. It's essayistic, heavy, and genuinely illuminating rather than preachy. This one asks for patience and rewards it. Documentary-minded viewers and readers of the book will find it powerful.
