I'm writing to strongly urge you to watch an important new film being released on July 3 and for you to encourage your family, friends, community members, and legislators to do the same.
The film is called Money Machine and it exposes the cover up led by MGM Casinos and Las Vegas elected officials to hide the true motive behind mass shooter Stephen Paddock (his gambling addiction to video poker machines) which led him to kill 58 people and wound hundreds of others during the Route 91 country music festival near the Mandalay Bay Casino in 2017.
I watched Money Machine when it was screened at the Cleveland Film Festival this past spring. It's a powerful film that will lead people of good will, from all political stripes, to ask themselves and their local and state officials who promote the casino business in their region: Why do we allow such an evil, predatory, greed-driven scheme to operate in our communities with our government's active endorsement and support?
Stop Predatory Gambling is not associated with the film in any way but we believe it merits serious public attention and action.
Money Machine was supposed to be released in theaters nationwide but because COVID has closed the cinemas, tickets can be purchased in advance of July 3 to watch the film online at https://theatricalathome.com/products/money-machine

Best,
