  • "The 27-minute film was designed to stimulate student's thinking as to why a certain custom or tradition exists even though it appears to be senseless and brutal, and to develop an awareness of what it's like to be a human in a universe that can sometimes be hostile and sometimes friendly. The film takes place in a small town where a lottery is held each year. The heads of the families draw lots first. If a man draws the lot with a black dot on it, he returns his slip and then all the members draw again. This drawing determines which member of the family gets stoned. DUE TO THE SUBJECT CONTENT, THE TEACHER SHOULD EVALUATE THIS FILM PRIOR TO CLASS SHOWING. For additional information, refer to the Lesson Guide for Captioned Films, Vol. 8, pages 137-143. This film is available from the Media Services and Captioned Films libraries. MSCF/EDR, 7-75."@en
