Ava DuVernay 'Origins' Exposes Dark Side Of American History

[@Familylawgroup]

I did not know she put her film research online. Great idea. Knowledge should be easily exchanged and not guarded and protected. As they discuss how this information would form an excellent class, I thought this would be a great content for an online class with Great Courses. Great Courses are designed for college level deep dive learning, but without tests and grades, etc. it is like an unlimited audit of all things interesting to you.

I can’t thank you enough for this information. ❤❤❤

Her ben and jerrys ice cream is honestly the best! I don't read too often so I haven't read Caste but I saw this movie and it made me so much more enraged at how society thinks it should be... makes you really think. All her movies make me cry because the subject is usually important. She's so underrated for her work. Her doing the research through her art is why I respect her.

The Origin movie for me was a Life changing experience. It has to be experienced. One of my favorite movie of all times.

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

life changing? wow. in what way? how did the film change your life? did you see it in the theaters?

[@artsyallen]

I love seeing Ava’s background in PR in action! A brilliant public scholar.

[@leslie9136]

I was back ground for a few days on this movie, and she was a wonderful director. She treats bg like they are important, which doesn’t happen very often, at least in my experience. I thought the movie was very good, and I learned a lot that I didn’t know.

One of if not my favorite film to come out this year.

One of greatest films I have seen in a long time time

[@gregXxo]

Loved it!

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

I constantly buy the non-dairy version of Ava DuVernay's *Lights! Caramel! Action!* It is SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's dangerous though because no matter how little you plan to eat, you'll always eat three times more than you planned. Yes, it is THAT delicious!!

[@andreadaniel8792]

I didn’t know there is a non-dairy version. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you for sharing that. 😊

So precious✨💎✨conversation's content, Kelly! I appreciate it. Thank you both 🌈🌍💫 ....

[@POObumpoopo]

The movie is amazing. She is very accessible and cool.

[@zeevaamrita6624]

Ava is a true SHERO. And it's very cool the bookstore cafe near Howard named her sandwich... But I am even more impressed she created her ice cream flavor with Ben and Jerry's!

[@junepearl979]

Loved this movie! Highly disappointed that it was not promoted and available at movie theaters in Brooklyn, NY!

I did a directive research project on the Caste System 10 months ago for my undergrad. One of the 23 literatures used was Isabelle Wilkerson's book. The Caste System is still alive today in The Americas and it is destroying the melanated community more than any other. I understand that this is being seeing as "History". Yes, the historical context is crucial to know; Who, Why, What, Where, and How. However, seeing this system as "History" runs the danger of seeing this as a thing of the past and not see it has a thing still cancerous in our present. I did a Live recording 10 months ago of my project that is accessible on OpaHopeDay KZbin channel. I invite you to take a look. I look forward to seeing this film and viewing the research guide that is mentioned.

Ava continuously reminds people, through her films, of racism in America. If you haven’t seen it, check out her documentary, “13th Film.”

[@denisebenjamin7139]

It was a very good movie.

[@user-mu3xk7ie2t]

Origin is a must-see movie. REAL 🎬💜

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

its hard not to watch Origin as a biographical film about the author. The film is absolutely beautiful and of course AET crushed the role. Well done on this film.

[@fanta4641]

Love Love this movie, Bravo

Kelly must have went to school in a red state. Wait until she finds out about evolution and the earth being round.

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

why would you write this?

[@IcebergSlim1978]

@@jusletursoulglobaby because she sounds very uninformed. Wherever she went to school didn’t do a good job.

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

@@IcebergSlim1978 and you think the current or historical political leadership influenced that, huh?

[@IcebergSlim1978]

@@jusletursoulglobaby yes. Certain states don’t want evolution taught. They teach that slavery was a jobs program and good in many ways etc. so yes, the government plays a major role in what gets taught in public schools.

@@IcebergSlim1978 she grew up in the 80s... before NCLB. Want to rethink what you wrote?
