Praise for Abacus:

"Veteran documentary-maker Steve James (HOOP DREAMS) is back with an engrossing story: the extraordinary fiasco of the Abacus bank prosecution." (4/5 stars) –Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"Disarmingly human moments–the Sung daughters, all high-powered lawyers, fret over their 80-year-old father's disappointing sandwich–pepper this compelling courtroom drama." (4/5 stars) –Wendy Ide, The Guardian

"Throughout James's scrappy story, there's a winning sense of humor, showing the spunk of people not used to getting pushed around." (4/5 stars) –Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

"A charming portrait of this tight-knit community in the midst of their David v Goliath battle. The Sungs are demonstrably close and witheringly intelligent." (4/5 stars) –Jonathan Mahon-Heap, The Upcoming

"An astonishing, bruising, educative tale for our times." (4/5 stars) –Nigel Andrews, Financial Times

"Illuminating and inspiring." –Nikki Baughan, The List
