How Film Changes the Way We See the World | Ava DuVernay | TED
"People told me this was an unadaptable book, so the only logical thing to do was to try to adapt it," says writer, producer and filmmaker Ava DuVernay of her work taking the award-winning title "Caste" from page to screen. In conversation with Pat Mitchell, DuVernay talks about the resulting film, "Origin," and discusses her process for turning ideas into pictures that pack a punch.

I'm here just to see, how native speakers speak english
I was privileged to see this as a surprise film. (AMCs screed unseen). I had no idea what 8 was going to watch. This was one of the most, if not THE most important films of our time. Well done Ms. Duverney! I truly hope every 16 year old gets to see this, along with their parents and even Grandparents. I want people to see and be able to discuss this film.

This is a great movie. Reveals history we need to understand in order to stop repeating.

Interesting and intelligent channel 😊
Go with the flow!
7:37 pm
The trailer did nothing to attract me to see the film. The conversation and the critical response to the film does attract me as soon as it is posted on Netflix.
Films are an important reflection of society, culture & likes dislikes of the people around us 🎥📽️
I think about that headline tonight
Hello from Uzbekistan
Hello from Kazakhstan
✨that is realy terrific✨
👀
Accent is so imperessive.and easy to understand....how can we improve our flueny as she ..can you give a advice 🔥
what an uninspiring interview - had to trun it off at 8:47 I didn't know what it is about, I didn't understand What I would get out of it I expected from the title a talk (as know and loved from TED) about how film changes the way we see the world
For my listening test
best wishes for your test.
💚🖤❤️
Wow I’m early! 🎉
Interested
Referring to someone as “remarkable” is exclusive to members of their own tribe. Animals have no interest in human remark abilities. Does that make us more special or more important than they? It’s very apparent that we have disregarded THEIR interests. We overestimate our value…given that our species offers the planet absolutely nothing!
The human tribe. Animalistic in nature. Sure thing☝👍
I saw a film out of Fulton County Georgia in 2019... it showed suitcases of pristine mail-in ballots brought out from under tables after press and political opponents were sent home... the response of media to it was extraordinary... they said what I saw was usual business... nothing to see. 😂
Is that why the majority of new films being made suck and have messaging inserted everywhere? 😂
You can read about it you can watch it you can choose to live it the problem is now to many people are confused … title should say how a different prospective changes the reality
