THE NINE MINUTE OVATION FOR ORIGIN AT THE VENICE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL - Origin is a 2023 American biographical drama film written and directed by Ava DuVernay. It is based upon Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson. It stars Aunjanue Ellis as Wilkerson, alongside Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Audra McDonald, Niecy Nash-Betts, Nick Offerman and Blair Underwood.

@ava (Origin 2023 movie writer/director) created a spellbinding portrayal of @isabelwilkerson 's life and work (the research and writing of Caste). Caste, sat atop the New York Times best seller list for over one year. It posits the connection between societies throughout history that have created and enforced laws that allow a dominant caste take freedom and power away from a subordinate caste. The dominant caste dehumanizes the subordinate caste through brutal conduct and by creating negative narratives that demonizes the entire group of people so that individual humans within the subordinate caste are stripped of their individual humanity. Race and racism are not tenants of a caste system by may be byproducts of one.

Origin by @ava will grip your soul and move you to tears. "It is beyond masterful and beyond a masterpiece,'' noted Mr. Eugene. With very special thanks to @ava and @paulgarnes (Origin producer) for your kindness in Venice. I appreciate you both more than you will ever realize (love you all so much)!

"It just may have been the nine-minute ovation that changed the world," noted Mr. Eugene.
