About the movie: The Lottery uncovers the failures of the traditional public school  
system and reveals that hundreds of thousands of parents attempt to flee the system  
every year. The Lottery follows four of these families from Harlem and the Bronx  
who have entered their children in a charter school lottery. Out of thousands  
of hopefuls, only a small minority will win the chance of a better future.

Directed by Madeleine Sackler and shot by award-winning cinematographer Wolfgang  
Held, The Lottery uncovers a ferocious debate surrounding the education reform  
movement. Interviews with politicians and educators explain not only the crisis  
in public education, but also why it is fixable. A call to action to avert a catastrophe  
in the education of American children, The Lottery makes the case that any child  
can succeed. (http://thelotteryfilm.com/about)
