Why this matters
The hidden addiction
No track marks. No slurred words. Just someone disappearing in plain sight. A short film about the loneliness of gambling addiction, and the people who pull you back.
A median of 6 years
pass before someone with a gambling problem reaches out for help. Most carry it alone. Only about 1 in 10 ever ask.

Connection
is what breaks it. Belonging reduces the urge itself. The opposite of addiction is not control, it is being known.
