What Is The Hoodoo 'Magic' Portrayed in Ryan Coogler's Sinners? Was it a Real Part of African American Life?

Ryan Coogler's Sinners is winning the hearts of audiences all over the world, and in a short amount of time, the supernatural drama has broken several box-office records. Starring Michael B Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku and more promising actors, Sinners shows the side of history often missed in the mainstream cinema. By surrounding the narrative with vampires, violence and breathtaking visuals, the film also subtly shows the quiet, grounded power of Hoodoo magic.

Through the character of Annie, played with a gentle authority by Wunmi Mosaku, the film introduces viewers to a spiritual tradition that's often been pushed to the margins of American consciousness.
