ORIGIN is a gripping cinematic revelation directed by Oscar-nominated visionary Ava DuVernay, with riveting performances from Academy Award nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (King Richard) and Jon Bernthal (The Bear). Adapted from a best-selling book penned by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, this fascinating narrative delves into timely social justice themes, resonating deeply as the USA elections loom, and locally societal fractures become more evident following the divisive Voice referendum outcome in 2023.
The film looks at social hierarchies and the destruction they cause, but ORIGIN does not ostracise the viewer, it is more focused on what connects us than what divides us. While challenging conventional thinking with its bold theories, ORIGIN invites audiences to embark on an enlightening and thought-provoking journey.
ORIGIN is provocative and inspiring, this is a film that stays with audiences as they debate and ponder its ideas long after leaving the cinema. IN CINEMAS APRIL 4.
