The film is set in 1930s Clarksdale, Mississippi, but current day Clarksdale doesn’t have a movie theater, making it difficult for people to see the film about their hometown.

"Sinners" is set in Clarksdale, Mississippi. But the city has no movie theater, so the bloody, bluesy box-office hit couldn't be screened there. A public plea has changed that.

In Clarksdale, there's limited transportation and no movie theater. The town inspired Sinners, but many can't travel to see it in theaters. They created a petition to invite Ryan Coogler & team to host a public screening and experience the Delta. NEW: https://t.co/xSxYRvtkeM
