Director Ava DuVernay's new film 'Origin' is based on the book 'Caste' by Isabel Wilkerson and explores the experiences of people of color in America in connection to caste systems in India and the Holocaust in Germany. DuVernay independently fundraised for the film, which she believes should be part of the conversation in an election year. The film is described as a powerful and artful interpretation of 'Caste,' although some critics believe it should have been a documentary.
