Bankie Banx: King of the Dune (Anguilla 2024)

Dir. Nara Garber

An exploration of the life of Bankie Banx, a man whose brain never turns off. The child who could not sit still became the ten-year-old who built his own guitar, who became the first Anguillian to make a living playing music, who became a local legend and an artist/entrepreneur who answers to no one while opening doors for friends and family and a generation of younger musicians. Bankie’s restless energy and creative drive forged paths where there were none, and he continues to find an outlet in his music, his ever-evolving beach bar, his music festival, and his regular tirades against corruption and neocolonialism. In spite of a world filled with obstacles, Bankie’s story and music will inspire you and other dreamers to stay the course and envision a better world.
