Inspired by the 'NYT' bestseller "Caste," Ava DuVernay's vibrant film centers author Isabel Wilkerson in this story about our shared history and the fight for our future.

In adapting Isabel Wilkerson's nonfiction bestseller Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents for the screen, director Ava DuVernay takes an audaciously inspired approach by putting the Pulitzer Prize-winning Wilkerson at the center of the story. The result is a remarkable and affecting journey through not only our shared history—American racism, India's caste system and Nazi persecution of Jews—but one woman's grief in the face of tremendous personal tragedy. In crafting one of the defining American books of our time, Wilkerson explores the mystery of history, the wonders of romance and a fight for the future of us all.
