'Sinners' will be streamed on Max in BASL (Black American Sign Language) - the first time a streaming service has ever done this.
'BASL is “a distinct dialect of American Sign Language (ASL) with its own dynamic history and unique grammar, signing space, rhythm, facial expressions and cultural nuances,” and "marks “a major step forward in accessibility, representation and visibility in streaming." '
