The deaf community was plagued by racial segregation, so Black Americans decided to create their own rendition of the language to serve their communities.

Ryan Coogler’s SINNERS is now streaming at home on Max—featuring the first-ever Black American Sign Language version of a major film.

The deaf community will get a chance to enjoy Mississippi-based "Sinners," thr Warner Bros. blockbuster hit in Black American Sign Language, starting Friday on Max.

Black American Sign Language is distinct from American Sign Language—and it developed because Black Deaf students were segregated in their own Black schools for the Deaf.

Sinners will hit Max with a Black American Sign Language (BASL) version to encourage others to learn about this special form of communication.
