This Science Fiction film is set in the near future and imagines a world where the Mexican-US border is completely closed and Mexican workers carry out labour in the US using remote controlled machinery and drones. There will be a roundtable held to discuss what the film has to say in the light of the proposals by the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, that if successful he will build a wall between the two countries, and what this film says about US-Mexican relations and their interdependency.
