Los Angeles: Filmmaker Ava DuVernay is set to direct “Caste”, a drama based on Isabel Wilkerson’s critically-acclaimed novel. The project marks DuVernay’s third collaboration with Netflix after the documentary “13th” and the miniseries “When They See Us”.
DuVernay will adapt Wilkerson’s nonfiction bestseller “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” to screen. According to Variety, the film 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 will also produce the movie, alongside ARRAY Filmworks’ Sarah Bremner and Paul Garnes. Netflix executive Tendo Nagenda will partner with the Oscar-nominated director for the project, after working together on Disney’s “A Wrinkle in Time”, her 2018 adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic tale.
