Abacus: Small Enough to Jail

Presented by Nightlight Cinema at Nightlight Cinema, Akron OH

Jul 15 2017
Abacus: Small Enough to Jail

Akron-raised producer of the film and longtime Steve James collaborator, Mark Mitten, will visit The Nightlight for two opening weekend screenings.

Quick: what was the only bank that was actually prosecuted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis? The astonishing answer is Abacus Federal Savings, a community bank in New York’s Chinatown. Steve James’ (Hoop Dreams, Life Itself) new movie brings the under-told story to light.

Abacus: Small Enough to Jail is a vivid chronicle of the legal battle mounted by Abacus’ CEO, Thomas Sung, and his formidable daughters when the Manhattan DA’s office charged the bank with systemic fraud, larceny, and conspiracy. Abacus is a moving portrait of a family, a community, and a way of life. It is also a cautionary tale.
