"Rivera revives the promise of an American independent cinema that can intervene in our world, imagine the worst, hope for the best – and entertain like mad long the way.”

B. Ruby Rich, Professor of Film & Digital Media at UC Santa Cruz

Alex Rivera is currently on a national campus tour with his work, including his Sundance award-winning feature film Sleep Dealer. For information please contact us.

Sleep Dealer carries embedded in it profound political and economic critiques - it’s the perfect conversation-starter for discussions about issues as diverse as labor and immigration, technology and ethics, globalization and the environment.

Dennis Lim of Lincoln Center and The New York Times says “Sleep Dealer taps into the cultural and economic fears that have come with a globalized planet… For all its newfangled trappings, Sleep Dealer reasserts a narrative as old as this country…”

The campus tour includes a presentation with filmmaker Alex Rivera, who can screen and discuss Sleep Dealer as well as his earlier work (including The Sixth Section, Why Cybraceros?, and The Borders Trilogy).

Presentations have already taken place at Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth, UCLA, University of Texas at Austin, New York University, Rutgers, and Duke University among many others.

Sleep Dealer is available for educational and institutional sale exclusively at SubCine.com
