'Betting on our future': A young gambler's story

A young man who struggled with a gambling addiction tells his story; starting out as an adolescent playing games for a few dollars, he ended up contemplating suicide and finally seeking help. He identifies certain emotional factors at play in his problem. "I believe that every time you go from generation to generation if there's some type of addiction, it kind of reshapes or reforms. And where my father's addiction might have been drugs or alcohol, mine was actually gambling." The documentary is called "Betting On Our Future" and is from teen producers at Media Arts Center San Diego.[youtube=https://youtu.be/waI6iWebDb8]
