JACKPOT

Director: Abid Chand
A winning lottery ticket seems like the key to Ebenezer's future. But without valid papers, his good fortune quickly turns into a risky pursuit, where every step closer to the prize makes him more visible than he can afford to be.
Ebenezer is undocumented and lives largely out of society's sight. But his life changes abruptly when he gets his hands on a winning lottery ticket while at work, suddenly bringing his dream of studying within reach. His joy turns sour, however, when it emerges that he must identify himself to claim the prize. Ebenezer faces a growing dilemma, caught between difficult choices about his future and his safety.
