Tagged: border, Film, film festival
Near future, the Mexican-American border. Anti-immigrant initiatives have succeeded in shutting down the frontier to illegal crossings, but that doesn’t mean cheap Mexican labor isn’t still working in American farms and factories.Thanks to the wonders of technology, laborers can now hook up their nervous systems to Internet connections that control robots that work in El Norte.
That’s the bizarre and intriguing premise of “Sleep Dealer,” a movie by New York-based filmmaker Alex Rivera that has been accepted as one of 16 films in the dramatic competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, beginning today in Park City, Utah.”*
