Origin is the exploration and brutal understanding of Caste and the system of inequality it has shaped across multiple contents and generations of humans from every corner of the world. Adapted from the book “Caste: The Origins of our Discontents” from Pulitzer Prize winner author and journalist Isabel Wilkerson, Origin seeks to go beyond understanding racism in our world and rather focuses on a system that oppresses everyone despite their skin color. What she explains in her book and what the film focuses on is how racism and so many other horrible things in our society have been utilized in this Caste system against people in order to keep them down and to keep power at the top for a select group.
