'Sleep Dealer:' exploring border connectedness

Sleep Dealer, a film by Alex Rivera, has won accolades at the Sundance Film Festival. It provides a speculative look at the US-Mexico relationship in the distant future: human-powered automatons filling the U.S. need for bodies to build the American Dream. (With no sleep, there is no dream.) Now available via Netflix. Check out this clip.
