I'll definately check this movie out!
When I went to Halifax for a conference last year I got to meet Mr.Lahey because he did this documentary and they showed it. Great guy, down to Earth, and surprisingly intelligent and not perma-drunk.
Funny thing was, the day before I was watching CBC Newsworld in Calgary and he was on talking about how Nova Scotia was getting rid of a bunch of VLTs... anyway, the last thing he said on air was "It's bull-****!" So when I met him, I said I caught his interview and I was surprised that you could say that on CBC at noon. He said something along the lines of "hopefully you got more from the interview than that" and we had a pretty in-depth conversation, apparently he is a recovering problem gambler.
