Sleep Dealer

I went to a pool party.

I also rewatched the cult classic movie Sleep Dealer.

And actually in this episode, we will be revisiting Sleep Dealer as a fictional reference for the very non-fictional dystopian reality that we're living in right now.

Yeah.

where American technology is mediating our relationship to people across the border and how immigrant labor is exploited and alienated from the humans behind it.

but also discussing the reality of filmmaking as a Latino in Hollywood in this day and age.

Which brings us to our latest guest.

We are so lucky to be speaking to the writer and director of Sleep Dealer, among other films, Alex Rivera.
