Rather than seeing human history from typically human anthropocentric  viewpoint we can see ourselves integrated into planets natural biosphere. It is a story of  natural history of  man. A story that as we can see may not have an happy ending. This is definitely one of those great movies, that every human being should see to understand his place in this world and  to become aware of ones responsibility  to it.

As mentioned many times during the course of the movie; “There’s no time to be a pessimist !” We have got a very short time to stop and reverse the human impact on this planet. And as also mentioned in the movie; “We still have a lot of resources to do so!” The clock is ticking on and our time is shorter everyday. I am one of those rare optimists and dreamers who think that we can still do it. We can still turn around and start acting, not only intelligent, but also wise and compassionate. But we have to start acting together and now! Most of our social and ecological problems are caused by inappropriate technological solutions and unethical business practice. And solutions to those problems does not only exist, but they are already implemented. It depends on us, how wide spread are those solutions going to be implemented and if they are going to make the necessary difference. Every one of those little ant-like creatures that you can see in the movie can become a part of change. Everyone can add up to the equation with his creativity and his behaviour.

The movie is freely available on Youtube. Just one click away.

Alex Rivera’s Sleep Dealer is not trying to reach into a far future and we can painfully see the accusations (of) and hidden messages to our present society.

I just can’t wait to put my eyes on this-one.
