ABACUS: SMALL ENOUGH TO JAIL 
SATURDAY, March 17, 1:45 PM
Chilmark School

Only one bank was indicted in the wake of the 2008 mortgage crisis. Was it one you’ve heard of? No. This is the incredible saga of the Abacus Federal Savings Bank in New York, owned by the Chinese immigrant Sung family. Accused of mortgage fraud, they are forced to defend themselves, and their reputation in the Chinatown community, in a five-year legal battle. Academy Award-nominated director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) gives a voice to the people whose family business almost got ruined by our government—while the big players skated.
