To escape poverty and unemployment a young Columbian woman
accepts a dangerous job. Swallow 60 pellets full of heroin
and smuggle them into the USA.
Featuring an Oscar nominated performance from Catalina Sandino
Moreno this is the gripping and harrowing tale of one of
the many thousands of drug 'mules' that enter America every
year. Non-judgmental in its approach and following the details
of the process - recruitment, instruction, ingestion (!)
- and then the trip itself. Maria makes a charismatic and
sympathetic protagonist.
"Marston builds incredible
tension . . human drama etched on Moreno's young, weary
face" Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
