- “I knew I didn’t want to make a documentary. Documentaries are what I use to convey information. I wanted people to be able to feel emotion and empathy,” says writer, producer and director Ava DuVernay on adapting her new film, “Origin,” which is in theaters Jan. 19.

Ava is always coming with thought provoking films! She’s one of a kind.
_Oh honey she’s such a strong and independent woman! Trump is so scared of women like her! Oh honey I can’t even!_
I'm getting a feeling that 2024 word of the year could well be
ACCOUNTABILITY. People are questioning why a lot of injustices aren't being addressed.
With Oversight comes Accountability. This is precisely why CONservatives pretend that "smaller government" (IRS, EPA, etc...) saves Us Tax Payers $$. That is just crazy. Transparency $ave$ U$ Tax PAYER$ money. Notice how John Stewart held the Military Industrial Complex spokesperson to the question of "Audit"? She had her tongue so twisted she was choking on it.
The year 2024 adds up to an 8-year. The eight year is associated with KARMA. So yes, it will most definitely be about the reaping and sowing for our actions.
@@thesacredibis6723thanks for this bit of wisdom 😊
So happy that Ava made this film. When I chose this book for my book club hosting month, when it was first published, I felt everyone should read it. The book was so incredible, that I still quote from it. I can't wait to see the film
Ava is brilliant at adapting literature to the big screen! Wilkerson is a brilliant Author! I looking forward to seeing ORIGINS!
Thank you, Chris Hayes, for interviewing Ava and promoting her new film that I can't wait to see. I loved the book and now I want to see how Isabel and Ava handled the subject in her film.
THIS!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE!!! I remember living in China in 2018 as an FBA and making so many connections between research I'd done since the 90's and the experiences I was having as an "other" on my own in Asia. And I had an epiphany...that America has a very disinct and working caste system. I had mentioned this realization to an Anglo American friend of mine who was with me in Asia...and though she'd been married to an African man and had African children, my words sounded like gibberish to her. She didn't get it. I kept my thoughts to myself... Then a couple years later Isabel Wikerson released the book CASTE and I felt seen and understood. Here was a kindred spirit. I bought it immediately... And now there's a MOVIE!!!!
I knew nothing about this. Caste or this upcoming film until last night. Now I simply can not wait to see it.
Really? It was talked about everywhere. I have the book
I very highly recommend reading the book. The film, no matter how great, cannot look at the many layers of the book.
One of the things I have learned this past year is that my daughter did the ancestry test and I found out that we as a family have traces of every continent including Africa of which we have a two percent, in fact we have Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, indigenous people and so I have come to the conclusion that we are all connected and no one is completely pure. We have to start thinking that we are all just people living in this one planet and start thinking that we all have feelings and we have been hurting each other and for what? Stupid pride that in the scheme of things it is meaningless and start thinking that we are all created by one source and it’s for a reason: to learn a very difficult subject: to learn to love each other and remembering His words: to love each other as He loves us. I will surely go and watch the film.
DNA testing is about Haplogroups and haplogroups are about the movement of people. The migration of people. It’s really not about what’s in our blood.
I had the honor of meeting Ms Isabel Wilkerson in Portland Oregon before the covid debacle. Not only is she a gifted and intelligent writer, she is a very humble, patient, and pleasant human being. I enjoyed our brief conversation and her very informative presentation. I highly recommend her books. If I had a daughter she would be someone like Isabel Wilkerson❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how knowledgeable regarding the material and also excited he was during this interview.
Ava also is an inspiration behind the song "I am" by Stan Walker ❤ So thought provoking and so inspirational
Brilliant! Amazing how she can read a book and come up with amazing plot/movie! Can’t wait to see!!
Ava! 👍🏾👏🏾
I have to admit that I'd be running to see this movie if all I'd heard was that Ava Duvernay received a 9-minute standing ovation -- yes, NINE minutes! -- at its showing in Cannes.
That's amazing!!
I LOVE THIS!!
As a man of color CAST was hard to read only because I felt that specific pain of historical trauma while it was such a helpful read because of the universal human dilemma of hierarchy. I know this movie will do so much good!
You mean as a Black man?. Society does not see you as a "person of color", that term was created so others can benefits from whatever progress Black people make. The "people of color" often reap the benefits more than we do.
I love all her work
Much Respect Goddess Ava. You are truly brilliant. Wish it would have worked out with the Prince deal. He deserves your vision!
Ava gets better and…better …BRAVA👏🏾
Can't wait to see this film. Sounds thought-provoking, and a good conversation starter and bridge builder.
Fantastic interview❤ full edit 🙏🏻
❤ Stan Walker's song " I am" is what got me here- the song was inspired by this movie and also the soundtrack for this film. ❤ It's awesome and giving global support for this film due to the song🎉❤
Looking forward to seeing the film. And I have to put the book on my to-do list
You must! Both books are brilliantly written.
3 Continents 37 days😮😮😮
Hope I can see this iñ Italy.
Italy isn't big on Democracy, Freedom, Decency, accountability. Good luck watching a movie about just that there😆
Gonna read and watch this.
BRILLIANT!
Well done, Ava! A must-see. Thank you for sharing this body of work. Empowering
Transgenerational, Intergenerational, or multigenerational trauma is very real. It refers to trauma that is passed from a trauma survivor to their descendants. This includes learned self-destructive behavior.
And it will be banned in Fla halls of higher and even secondary education,
It won't be banned because no one wants to watch it.
This movie sounds AWESOME..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking forward to watching this movie
Excellent work!!!
I figured this was an "ideas" movie before I learned of the book. The white woman's line in the trailer "you're thesis if flawed," sold it to me because I wanted to see Isabel try to prove her point. I think the director in an interview said the word "race" or "racism" or even "institutional racism" has a lot of resistance or baggage so aren't moving us forward, but maybe "caste" can. One problem: it was really slow to start after they cut away from a young Black man in peril, who I didn't realize was Trayvon Martin until identified and revisited much later in the film. I saw it Tuesday, but it's leaving my theater after Wednesday (today).

The caste system has existed in some form in India for at least 3,000 years. It is a social hierarchy passed down through families, and it can dictate the professions a person can work in as well as aspects of their social lives, including whom they can marry.Jun 29, 2021
Can someone tell me when this movie is coming out.
January 19.
@@c.bowling8746 thank you.
I'm looking forward to being challenged by this film.
I need to pre-order my tickets today. Wilkerson’s work ought to be required reading globally. And that Ava has created this movie. I cannot wait!
I take umbridge with anyone who believe they are ENTITLED to the protection of other's, but "choose" not to have skin in the game.
🎉 Ship Ahoy 🎉 by 🎵 The Ojays 🎵 😮
🎉 Crystal Blue 🔮 Persuasion 🎉. Mr Tommy James 🎉
So why do you not mention the other people's group
Ummmmm 😭😂💀 it does though. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ both the book and the movie.
Your question exposes that you didn't read the book. A dead giveaway demonstrating why you shouldn't talk when you don't know what you're talking about.
Down with the Patriarchy!!
LOL. Woke Disney and Woke Hollywood is collapsing.
It's hilarious MSNBC would rather discussAva DuVernay than the genocide in Palestine! We need to hold Biden accountable!
Why can't they ... we all.. .discuss both? Your comment is meant to purposely pit two issues against each other. No one should, hopefully, will fall for it. Nice try. But, we see you.
Don’t you mean Netanyahu?
Genocide is such a ridiculous word for this fight. Do you even know what it means? Please explain to us how Israel is purposefully committing genocide. I'll wait.
This comment is an example of what the movie is trying to portray... caste! It's all related, and all matters. No one's pain is greater than another's... it's interwoven... connected... and if we get to the root, that's when the real work starts. If we keep pitting against one another, then nothing changes.
it's hilarious that you think we aren't on to you, and see what you doing here with this comment. we need to hold you accountable for just being a troublemaker and someone who likes to yell more than they want to listen. you need to start listening. and stop talking and posting. we get the game you are playing. aim higher.
So does it cover native peoples and the tribes who sold their enemies into slavery that were black? And because the Hawaiian kids learn Hawaii Pono’i protect Kamehameha with Ihe when he subjegated them with Guns. It’s all a blur.
Read the book or see the film. Ignorance is a choice. Any more questions?
Isn't it ironic how Fani willis is being prosecuted now
She is? 😂🤣😅
Persecuted.
@@drrnb@DavidJ2222 it's MAGA. Therefore, he has a very limited vocabulary. 🤷🏻♂️🤣
Is it?? Or is it on script?
@@atl2cali excellent point! They do have their special MAGA robot talk 🤣
Ozempic much?
So woke it seems like a parody of woke.
What’s wrong with woke?
@@rudyABDULeverything
Woke is cliché now. What point are you specifically trying to make?
Sp's your comment, which is a parody of a response.
Well, this is another woke box office flop.
Don't be scared, boo. It won't hurt you.
What a snowflake of a triggered response. The irony, I'm sure is lost on you.
You wish!
First you have to be aware to be woke. And apparently your comment shows that you are neither.
Trump 2024✊
Make America great again 🙌🙏
Trump!!!!
May life give you everything you deserve!
Trump 20-24 years behind bars 🚓 ⚖️
Another flop?
A book that no one read is made into a movie that no one is going to watch. Totally newsworthy story...
Can't wait for you to be proven wrong...and make no mistake, you will! 😂
Lol. You mean a book that’s an international bestseller? 🙄
I'm sorry that your too stupid to have heard of it. It's for the best, I don't think you have the bandwidth to understand it even if you read it. Bless your soul.
A book that plenty have read, and a movie that plenty are going to watch.
A book that YOU haven't read. It was a best seller. Quite a few people read the book. Will it be a blockbuster movie? Probably not.
Ban that book!! MAGA MAGA ❤🇺🇸
