WATCH TRAILER

Gebaseerd op het waargebeurde verhaal van Dave Fishwick, een selfmade miljonair uit het Britse dorpje Burnley. Dave, opgeklommen vanuit de arbeidersklasse, besluit een bank op te richten om lokale bedrijven een kans te geven. In de poging om zijn geliefde gemeenschap te helpen, schakelt hij de hulp in van de jonge Londense advocaat Hugh. De elitaire financiële instellingen in Londen hebben al meer dan 100 jaar geen nieuwe bankvergunning verleend en zijn vastberaden om Dave tegen te werken.

Based on the true-life experiences of Dave Fishwick; ‘Bank of Dave’ tells the story of how a working class Burnley 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 of Burnley he has to take on the elitist financial instutions of London and fight to receive the first, new banking license to be issued in over 100 years. Joel Fry (Yesterday, In The Earth, Love Wedding Repeat), who recently starred as one of the leads in the big budget, family movie Cruella, plays young London lawyer Hugh who is hired by Dave to fight his case against the British banking system. Star of Netflix hit Bridgerton, Phoebe Dynevor (The Colour Room) plays feisty local doctor Alexandra. The character of Dave is played by Olivier winner and BAFTA nominee Rory Kinnear (Bond, Penny Dreadful and The Imitation Game)
