About this movie

The lives of four families from Harlem and the Bronx intersect at a high-stakes lottery. If they win, their children will gain access to one of the best charter schools in New York. If they lose, they may have no choice but to send their children to some of the worst schools operating today. Critically acclaimed, "The Lottery will do for charter schools what An Inconvenient Truth did for the environment," says Errol Louis of the New York Daily News.
