    Impact in Action

    World gambling statistics show that around 26% of the population gamble. That means around 1.6 billion people worldwide gamble and 4.2 billion gamble at least once every year.* Source: casino.orgSurrender is an exceptional dramatic story that warns of the dangers of gambling addiction. It sneaks up on you with style, empathy, and raw honesty, anchored by Andrea Bang’s quietly endearing yet tragic performance. Ultimately, it’s a grounded and compassionate portrait of a woman caught between ambition, obligation, and the thrill that threatens to undo everything.-Alan Ng, Film Threat
