Ava DuVernay (“When They See Us,” “13th”) will write, direct and produce a feature adaptation of Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson’s recently released critically-acclaimed novel “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent” at Netflix.
The feature will use a multiple-story structure to examine the “unspoken system that has shaped America and chronicles how our lives today are defined by a hierarchy of human divisions dating back generations.”
DuVernay, Sarah Bremner and Paul Garnes will produce. The project is the latest in the line of collaborations between DuVernay and Netflix.
