Bank of Dave (2023)
Movie
Released
A Burnley businessman takes on an exclusionary financial establishment with local borrowers in mind. Familiar northern settings and the wish to keep opportunity circulating within a community make this an accessible Sunday crowd-pleaser. The story is fictionalised; its value here is the generous fantasy of neighbours backing one another.
