POV: 13x6
Dreamland
Gambling hits home in filmmaker Lisanne Skyler’s perceptive profile of Las Vegas residents living with constant temptation. “The hardest part of living in Las Vegas is the gambling machines,” says one woman. “They’re everywhere.” Adds Lou Gerard, a Los Angeles tailor who retired to Las Vegas (and is the film’s primary focus), about his gambling: “Sometimes I feel sorry for myself but I get over it. There’s always a next time.” (But Gerard did stop gambling in 1999).
