: The Origins of Our Discontents,” is now complete with the addition of Blair Underwood, Finn Wittrock, Victoria Pedretti, Isha Blaaker, Leonardo Nam, Donna Mills and Emily Yancy.
Announced in October 2020, DuVernay serves as the writer and director of “Caste,” which adapts Wilkerson’s acclaimed book. Described in The New York Times as “an instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far,” the book — and subsequently DuVernay’s film — examines the system of hierarchy that has shaped America.
Underwood — like Ellis, Farmiga and Nash-Betts — reunites with DuVernay after starring in the Emmy-winning 2019 Netflix limited series “When They See Us,” but the rest of the new cast are first-time collaborators with the filmmaker. Veteran actor Yancy’s career spans from 1963 to the present with credits including HBO’s “Sharp Objects,” “Nine Months” and “Cotton Comes to Harlem.” Meanwhile, Blaaker is a relative newcomer with roles on HBO Max’s “The Flight Attendant” and Starz’s “Run the World.”

Seattle considers historic law barring caste discriminationOne of Kshama Sawant’s earliest memories of the caste system was hearing her grandfather — a man she “otherwise loved very much” — utter a slur to summon their lower-caste maid. The Seattle City Council member, raised in an upper-caste Hindu Brahmin household in India, was 6 when she asked her grandfather why he used that derogatory word when he knew the girl’s name.
