- blurb
- The true story of how Dave Fishwick, a working class man and self-made millionaire, fought to set up a community bank so that he could help the local businesses of Burnley not only survive, but thrive. In his bid to help his beloved community, he has to take on the elitist financial institutions of London and fight to receive the first, new banking license to be issued in over 100 years.
thoughts
A solid 3 star film. Don’t expect too much, it’s a fun watch and not too serious. Some flagrant abuse of what a “northern” accent is, some good Lancaster accents in there but a few too many Yorkshire. Once you’re past that it does what is says on the tin with some nice hearty moments.
