Film Description

This powerful film has been described as a “…tornado of ideas.” Based on the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson, the film portrays the concept of caste in its many forms from racism, wealth, intolerance…all forms of prejudice. Writer/Director Ava DuVernay brings us sharply drawn vignettes that bring home the power of bigotry to shape our world.
