Sleep Dealer is a new film by Alex Rivera, he explained that the original inspiration for Sleep Dealer came from a film in the Prelinger Archive called Why Bracros? A 1959 industrial film created by the U.S. government, Braceros explains the need for Mexican immigrant workers on American farms.
Sleep Dealer is about:
Memo, a young Mexican from Oaxaca who travels to Tijuana to become the new kind of migrant worker — one who stays in Mexico but exports his labor to the United States, via cybernetic implants.
Luz, a young journalist who sells her actual memories online via her own cybernetic implants.
Sleep Dealer will be in theaters in the U.S. in March 2009.
"Alex Rivera makes an impressive, eye-opening debut. Sleep Dealer is remarkable. It's the rare political film without any reference to contemporary politics, like Blade Runner and other big-brained sci-fi flic... it's instead about ideas."
