紀錄片簡介:

Abacus: Small Enough to Jail is a 2016 American documentary film directed by Steve James.[2] The film centers on the Abacus Federal Savings Bank, a family-owned community bank situated in Manhattan's Chinatown in New York Citywhich, 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.[3]

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.[4] It aired on the PBS documentary series Frontline in 2017[5] and is available for online streaming at no charge.[6] The film was nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the 90th Academy Awards.

紐約唐人街一家社區銀行2015年被聯邦檢察官起訴,成為2008年美國金融危機後唯一一家被起訴的銀行。這個故事拍成了一部紀錄片。2008年美國金融危機有個關鍵詞叫“大不能倒” (Too Big to Fail),指的是因濫發房屋次級貸款導致危機的美國大金融機構太大而不能倒 閉。實際上危機過後沒有一家大金融機構或個人對那次危機承擔法律責任。 
 

由獨立製片人製作的紀錄片,記錄了金融危機後聯邦政府起訴的唯一一家銀行——由華人移民創辦的紐約唐人街社區銀行——國寶銀行,以及它的創辦人孫啟誠和他家人贏得官司的過程。相對於“大不能倒”,記錄片取名“小須入獄” (Small Enough to Jail)。
