Trailer for Melissa Barrera's Addiction Drama ALL THE WORLD IS SLEEPING
Gravitas Ventures has released a trailer for All the World is Sleeping, an addiction drama that stars Scream’s Melissa Barrera. The film follows a young mother struggling with addiction, and she’s trying to fight her way out of it for herself and her daughter.
It’s explained that the film "highlights the stigma connected with substance abuse and the seemingly never-ending cycle many people battle…" It was written and directed by Ryan Lacen, and this is the synopsis:
As a young girl in New Mexico, Chama (Melissa Barrera) strived to be different from her Mother. Now in her twenties, she's fallen into a similar cycle of generational addiction. This struggle threatens her balance as a Mother to her own daughter. As Chama tries to keep it all together, a harrowing accident will spiral her out of control causing her daughter to be taken away. With nothing left, she'll have to confront her past in order to fight for a future — one that can either guide her closer to getting her daughter back or lead her deeper into this dangerous cycle.
All the World is Sleeping also stars Jackie Cruz, Jorge Garcia, Kristen Gutoskie, Valentina Herrera, Lisandra Tena, and Luis Bordonada. The movie seems to offer an intimate look at how hard it is to break free from the chains of addiction.
Gravitas will debut All the World is Sleeping in select theaters and on VOD starting March 17th.
