Sleep Dealer

The International Latino Film Festival presents:

Sleep Dealer

dir. Alex Rivera, 2008, USA, 90 min.

This Sundance and Berlin award-winner paints a visually captivating but critical vision of the future, with airtight borders, militarized corporate control on natural resources, and an underground class of Mexican "cybraceros" who plug their nervous systems into a global computer network. A truly original story, with romance and betrayal, equally influenced by sci-fi novel and current political debates.

Ganador en Sundance y Berlin, el film pinta una vision cautivadora pero critica de un futuro con inexpugnables fronteras y control corporativo-militarizado de los recursos naturales. Una clase clandestina de ciber-braceros mexicanos conectan sus cerebros a una red global informatica en esta historia original con elementos de romance y traicion, entre la ciencia-ficcion y la realidad de los actuales debates politicos.
