DESCRIPTION:\n	2018 Academy Award Nominee - Best Documentary Feature \n\n\n
 	Dir. Steve James. 2017\, 90 mins. Digital projection. The latest film fro
 m documentary legend Steve James tells the incredible saga of the Chinese 
 immigrant Sung family\, owners of Abacus Federal Savings of Chinatown\, Ne
 w York. Accused of mortgage fraud by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. 
 Vance\, Jr.\, Abacus becomes the only U.S. bank to face criminal charges i
 n the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The indictment and subsequent tri
 al forces the Sung family to defend themselves—and their bank’s legacy in 
 the Chinatown 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 sturdy 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
 \, Huntsville\, Pomona\, or\, now\, Chinatown\, he’s firmly in place. Whil
 e watching his films\, we are too.”—Jeff Reichert\, Reverse Shot \n	\n

 newlyweds. Their unusual and idyllic love story is disrupted by a family f

 ng darker: an indictment of the elder-care system\, with racial undertones
