HIGH CHICAGO

Feature Drama, 2011

98 minutes

Inspired by a true story and set in 1975, HIGH CHICAGO is a gritty drama about Sam, a 42-year-old husband and father of three, in the grip of a serious gambling addiction.  Living on the edge of poverty in a northern mining town, Sam has been stoking the same blast furnace for ten years.  When Sam loses his job; instead of admitting his failure to his wife, he chooses instead to chase his dream of traveling to Africa to open a drive-in theater, a scheme hatched years earlier in the navy.  Sam is equally desperate to support his family and keep his dream alive, almost destroying both with his compulsive gambling.
