Sleep Dealer explores ways in which technology both oppresses and connects migrants by depicting a dystopian future. [1] A fortified wall has ended illegal US-Mexico immigration, but migrant workers are replaced by robots, remotely controlled by the same class of would-be emigrants. Their life force is inevitably used up, and they are discarded without medical compensation. Sleep Dealer was directed by Alex Rivera.
