Flicks and Friends
November 16 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us to discuss the movie Origin. Origin is a 2023 American biographical drama film written and directed by Ava DuVernay. It is based on the life of Isabel Wilkerson, as she writes the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. She explores the idea of how race may not be the only determining factor in bigotry, since, e.g., in India, everyone may be of the same “race”, but bigotry still occurs by caste. Similarly, although Jews of European descent may have been considered “white” in some parts of the world, in Nazi Germany they were defined as an inferior race to be exterminated.
We will meet for the inaugural movie night of 5785 at the home of one of our members. More details to be sent via email. Please remember to RSVP. Our hope is for a lively discussion.
This movie can be rented on Amazon Prime.
