The Banker was initially set to be Apple’s first major film release.

The film was pulled from its world premiere at AFI Fest this Thursday after Apple revealed in a statement obtained by PEOPLE that it was looking into “concerns surrounding the film.”

“We purchased The Banker earlier this year as we were moved by the film’s entertaining and educational story about social change and financial literacy,” the statement read. “Last week some concerns surrounding the film were brought to our attention. We, along with the filmmakers, need some time to look into these matters and determine the best next steps.
