Ava DuVernay received an Oscar nomination and two Emmys for “13th,” her investigation into the ties between slavery and modern-day mass incarceration. Now she’s set to make another Netflix film exploring a contemporary social issue with a complex history. Deadline reports that DuVernay is set to write, direct, and produce “Caste,” a feature adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson’s non-fiction bestseller.

“Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents” hit shelves in August. “Through a multiple-story structure, ‘Caste’ examines the unspoken system that has shaped America and chronicles how our lives today are defined by a hierarchy of human divisions dating back generations,” the source details.

In 1994, Wilkerson became the first African-American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism. She has also received the National Humanities Medal. She previously penned National Book Critics Circle Award recipient “The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration.”

DuVernay became the first woman of color to helm a $100 million-plus live-action film with 2018’s “A Wrinkle in Time.” Her other credits include “Queen Sugar,” “Selma,” and “When They See Us.” Next, the multi-hyphenate will narrate and exec produce “One Perfect Shot,” an HBO Max project unpacking some of film and TV’s most iconic shots. A Netflix limited series about Colin Kaepernick’s adolescent life is also on her slate.

DuVernay and her film collective, ARRAY, will be awarded with the inaugural Marian MacDowell Arts Advocacy Award on October 19. This summer, she became the first female filmmaker to win the Gish Prize and was elected to the Academy’s Board of Governors.
