“The beauty and majesty that Kris Bowers contributed to ORIGIN through his soaring, poignant score was monumental to my process as a filmmaker,” says DuVernay and adding, “collaborating with Kris is a true gift as his artistry is steeped in all of the things that matter to me: imagery, history, humanity. We’ve worked together four times now and it just gets better. I feel this score for ORIGIN is his best yet.” Portrayed by Academy Award nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (King Richard), Isabel experiences unfathomable personal loss and love as she crosses continents and cultures to craft one of the defining American books of our time. Inspired by the New York Times best-seller “Caste,” ORIGIN explores the mystery of history, the wonders of romance and a fight for the future of us all. Purchase/Stream:
