Sinners is not a true story. It has an original screenplay by director Ryan Coogler, who drew heavily from the history of the Jim Crow-era Mississippi Delta and the associated folklore and legacy of the blues. The film adapts the blood-and-fangs conventions of the vampire genre to reflect on how Black art is often stripped of its roots and identity in mainstream culture.
