Bank of Dave tells the uplifting true story of Dave Fishwick, portrayed by Rory Kinnear, a businessman from Burnley, Lancashire, who took on the financial establishment after the 2008 credit crisis.

His initiative was a response to the injustices faced by ordinary people, offering them opportunities to thrive.
