Abacus small enough to jail david vs goliath clip
Abacus: Small Enough to Jail is an American documentary film by Steve James, released in 2016. The film centres on the Abacus Federal Savings Bank, a family-owned community bank in New York City which, because it was deemed "small enough to jail" rather than "too big to fail", became the only financial institution to actually face criminal charges following the subprime mortgage crisis.
The film premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was first runner-up for the People's Choice Award in the documentary category. It is scheduled to air on the PBS documentary series Frontline in 2017.
