While grappling with tremendous personal tragedy, Isabel sets herself on a path of global investigation and discovery. Despite the colossal scope of her project, she finds beauty and bravery while crafting her book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.
Origin is based on the life of American journalist, author, and Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson who travels throughout Germany, India, and the United States to research the caste systems in each country's history.
"A moving drama that's unafraid to ask big questions, Origin honors its source material with powerful performances in service of a deeply emotional story."
