ORIGIN | Conversation with Ava DuVernay and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor moderated by Regina King

In the middle of watching this very feeling interview, I literally closed my eyes and said, “ Thank you God for Regina being HERE.” I’ve prayed for her. I’ve sent her love and light. Shine on, Queen. They are all Queens and make me proud to be a beautiful black woman! 🙏🏾

Regina!!! We love you, such an awesome actress, beautiful woman and I'm glad she is pushing forward, we need her. Aunjanue is such an underrated actress been around for a while and Ava constantly uplifts her here lately. I love that Ava constantly educates us through her art, she's also such an inspiration doing things on her own.

Aunjanue Ellis takes my breath away.

The interview that I didn't know that I needed this morning. I'm so inspired by all three women. Awesome conversation.

This film should be shown in schools

Ms Ava is so genuine and authentic as a director. I’m grateful for this interview.

Aunjanue this is your moment❤🎉

I'm still crying... Sobbed so much through the movie!!! The grief experience was so personal for me! And the grief I felt for every person who is dehumanized in the ways so powerfully captured in the movie!!!! And the fresh dive into the other layers of what African Americans experience in this country - more than, deeper than, the better context to what we usually define only as racism. Caste is the container for racism, and all the ways humanity seeks to define another as "lesser" ❤❤❤😢❤❤❤

Man I love these 3 women. It's so good to see Regina King. I pray that she can find some peace

The movie is just excellent! The best writing, directing, and story telling we’ve seen in a long time!

The relationship between black people and cinema is a unique one.

These three are part of the dream of our ancestors.

Death is very transformative to Life. Aunjanue is such a sage🍃💜

Why am I crying watching this. Three brilliant artists.

So much greatness & black excellence on this stage

Regina is perfect to moderate this in depth discussion 🥰🤗 these questions are so nuanced and the answers are so interesting. Ava and Aunjanue are formidable. I can't wait to see this.

Loved this interview! Loved seeing Regina King. She's had the heartache of a child dying. I feel for her. Ava is a special and creative filmmaker. Anjunay is a fantastic actor! I love everything she is in. Can't wait to see the movie!

This was one of the most incredible films I’ve ever watched. Well done ladies. Bravo

Saw this film today, its a work of art. I was crying on and off through out this film.

EVERYONE needs to see this masterfully crafted film that ignites such a deeper and more empathic understanding of our global human experience! 🎉Brilliance is the "Origin" gift we've received for years to come from Ava DuVernay! 🎉❤ Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor delivers a stellar performance that truly deserves industry praise 👏 It is my hope that this film is shared with both young and old, in schools and companies to aid in furthering meaningful intellectual discourse. Please support this film which is currently not being shown in all theaters but it definitely should be. I've found it so far on Fandango and AMC at limited showings and theaters here in FL as of 2/21 but was released on 2/19/24. #SeeOrigin2024 Thank you to Ava and the entire great cast of Origin! We must also not forget the Author of the book "Caste" ❤🎉 Spread the word! #PayitForward
