A Dreamscape: Gambling in America plot

Americans are gambling: they spend more money annually on gambling than on all forms of entertainment and sports combined. In this documentary, filmmaker Bernie IJdis searches for the backgrounds of American gambling, visiting Atlantic City, Las Vegas and New York, among others. Why is gambling an obsession for many Americans? The film sees gambling as a metaphor for the American Dream: both are based on a promise that only a few keep.
