Join us on Sunday, October 27th, from 7-9pm for a free screening of “Sleep Dealer” at Pulp Gallery. RSVP below!
‘Sleep Dealer’ is a Sundance award-winning sci-fi thriller centered on the story of Memo Cruz (Luis Fernando Peña), a young man in near-future Mexico. When his family is victim of a misguided drone attack he finds himself with no option but to head north, towards the U.S./Mexico border. But migrant workers cannot cross this new world border – it's been sealed off. Instead, Memo ends up in a strange digital factory in Mexico where he connects his body to a robot in America. Memo's search for a better future leads him to love, loss, and a confrontation with a mysterious figure from his past. The paradox of a world connected by technology, but divided by borders, is the central concept of Sleep Dealer; it is a science-fiction with many anchors in today’s reality.
