About the Presentation
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on exploring the unspoken systems that have shaped America and how they define our lives today. Origin is a 2023 American biographical drama film written and directed by Ava DuVernay. It is based on the life of Isabel Wilkerson, played by Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, as she writes the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Over the course of the film, Wilkerson travels throughout Germany, India, and the United States to research the caste systems in each country’s history.
Moderated by:
- Nancy Avitabile, LMSW, CMC: NACCM Director & Aging Life Care Manager®
- Byron Cordes, MSW, LCSW, C-ASWCM, CMC: NACCM President & Aging Life Care Manager®
- Shantel Garcia, DSW, MPA, CMC: NACCM Director
Together, they will lead a dynamic discussion on the themes of the movie and book, exploring its implications for care management, client support, and societal equity.
You can find the movie Origin on Prime, Hulu or AppleTV and the book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents on Amazon or in bookstores.
