Dream Dealer - Movie

I saw the movie 'Sleep Dealer' at the Florida Musium of Arts on Sat 03-Oct-2009 and met its director Alex Rivera. He told us how he made his idea into a movie - He got the idea - outline in 1997 and was curious to know how SciFi is viewed by people from developing countries. So he wanted to develop a near future SciFi as perceived from South of the Border to the US.
With the help of Sun Dance Institute he found the right connection to develop the story and a Producer and made the movie and released it in 2008 (Almost 10 years since the first idea.).
The movie was completed within $2 Million.

In my opinion it was a very nice movie that captures meticulously the dangerous power of Corporations. Some of the scenes that show this idea are:

Computer - Node communication that threaten the heroin that all her things will be thrown out for delay in payment.
Kill ordinary people as threat to security.
Reduce (adjust) salary for few seconds of non-work.
All work (even Physical work) done through Robos by the use of cheap labourers that control the Robos according to the Corporations' requirements from outside the USA. (So no illegal immigrants as well as NO WORK FOR Americans also).
