 \n	\n	\n	2018 Academy Award Nominee - Best Documentary Feature \n\n\n	Dir.
  Steve James. 2017\, 90 mins. Digital projection. The latest film from doc
 umentary legend Steve James tells the incredible saga of the Chinese immig
 rant Sung family\, owners of Abacus Federal Savings of Chinatown\, New Yor
 k. Accused of mortgage fraud by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance
 \, Jr.\, Abacus becomes the only U.S. bank to face criminal charges in the
  wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The indictment and subsequent trial fo
 rces the Sung family to defend themselves—and their bank’s legacy in the C
 hinatown community—over the course of a five-year legal battle. “The craft
  on display in Steve James’s new film Abacus: Small Enough to Jail is so s
 turdy and comforting that the experience of watching it almost feels like 
 a hug. Steve James is a filmmaker who seemingly never loses sight of where
  he is\, and what’s important to film. Whether it’s Chicago\, Hampton\, Hu
 ntsville\, Pomona\, or\, now\, Chinatown\, he’s firmly in place. While wat
 ching his films\, we are too.”—Jeff Reichert\, Reverse Shot \n	\n	  \n\n\n

 d love\, in their mid-90s. But as the couple is separated due to a legal b
 attle\, what could have been a life-affirming hug turns into something dar
 ker: an indictment of the elder-care system\, with racial undertones.'—Ste
