Dir(s): Alan Black
Program: Lets Make Money
Run Time: 50 | Canada | Language: English
It's 10 a.m. on Sunday morning. Do you know where your parents are? While many of us are sleeping or reading the paper, hardcore regulars are staking out their favorite seats at their favorite tables at Delta Bingo, where everyone has a story and a dream. The bingo hall, like some of its regulars, is a little worn down, but it offers a respite from the harsh realities of a big, lonely city. Day after day, week after week soon becomes decades for the regulars, who are convinced that if they hit the jackpot their problems will be solved. The pressure is intense since winning sometimes means being able to pay bills or make rent. For others, it's a way out of a life of hardship and heartbreak. A beautifully filmed meditation on the nature of luck and a reminder that we all need dreams, even if they are always one number away. Gisèle Gordon.
