“Pushing Luck” Documentary to Premiere Statewide

NoCasinos.org announces the statewide premiere of gambling documentary “Pushing Luck,” a short documentary film that examines the question of whether government’s policy of sponsoring casinos has failed. 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 pushed it, and its consequences for American social, political and economic life.
