Check out the first official teaser trailer for "Origin," the upcoming thought-provoking film by acclaimed writer-director Ava DuVernay, known for "Selma" and "When They See Us."

Bringing together an exceptional ensemble cast including Aunjanue Ellis, Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, Audra McDonald, Niecy Nash-Betts, Nick Offerman, and Blair Underwood, the film is inspired by Isabel Wilkerson's New York Times bestseller "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents."

Given Ava DuVernay's track record of creating socially relevant and emotionally resonant films, "Origin" is likely to engage audiences in a deep and meaningful way. The film will take audiences on a meditative journey into the complex history of the caste system within the United States. The drama will be delving into the historical roots of racism, the shaping of class hierarchies, and the far-reaching consequences of long-standing prejudices.

Keep your eyes peeled for the world premiere of "Origin" this week at the Venice International Film Festival. Neon, the distributor behind acclaimed titles like "Parasite," "Portrait of a Lady on Fire," and "Triangle of Sadness," has plans for the film's release, set for a later date. Until then, you can check out the teaser above.
