“Pushing Luck” is a short documentary produced by NoCasinos.org that takes a clear-eyed look at the economic and social perils of expanded gambling.
From Miami to Atlantic City to Chicago and elsewhere, filmmakers interview recovering addicts, former industry insiders, political leaders, and noted academicians to uncover the roots of gambling in Florida, the nature of the industry that pushes it, and its consequences for American social, political, and economic life.
