In this week’s segment, Reggie “The Reel Critic” Ponder reviews ‘Origin,’ a
film directed by Ava DuVernay that delves into Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel
Wilkerson's pursuit to write ‘Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.’ Aunjanue
Ellis-Taylor delivers a magnificent performance in the film, portraying Wilkerson's
curiosity and courage as DuVernay weaves personal trials into the narrative,
challenging perceptions of oppression. ‘Origin’ sparks discussions on race, class
and the human experience, making it a must-see.
