Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay uses a blend of drama and non-fiction to adapt Isabel Wilkerson's novel Caste: The Origins of our Discontents, which explores the roots of racial and social hierarchies. While grappling with tremendous personal tragedy, Isabel (Ellis-Taylor) sets herself on a path of global investigation and discovery. Despite the colossal scope of her project, she finds beauty and bravery while crafting one of the defining American books of our time.
