While visiting Studio 9 during the 48th Toronto International Film Festival with their film ORIGIN, filmmakers Ava DuVernay (SELMA) and Paul Garnes (WHEN THEY SEE US) discuss the films BOYS N THE HOOD and SANKOFA, and how they transformed their world. Ava DuVernay directs an inspired adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson’s life, as she digs into the nuance of discrimination while writing what would become her New York Times bestselling book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Captured in the Official #TIFF23 Interview Suite, at Fairmont Royal York, powered by Canon.
