PR🎬 The Banker
The Banker is a historical drama inspired by real events in the 1960s United States about two pioneering Black businessmen fighting racial discrimination in housing and finance. 
📌 Plot: Set in the era of Jim Crow‑era inequality, the film follows Bernard Garrett (played by Anthony Mackie) and Joe Morris (played by Samuel L. Jackson). They devise a bold plan to help African‑American families buy property and access loans in a system that largely excluded them. Because banks and real estate professionals at the time often refused to work with Black entrepreneurs, they hire a white man (Nicholas Hoult) to pose as the public face of their business while Garrett and Morris operate behind the scenes. Their work leads to success, conflict with powerful interests, legal jeopardy, and a larger conversation about civil rights and economic justice.
