ok here's some other movies i wanted to watch (but not necessarily in theatres anymore)
Maria Full of Grace
(en espanol con ingles subtÃtulos)
Official website: http://www.mariafullofgrace.com/main.html
"A bright, spirited 17-year old, Maria Alvarez, lives with three generations of her family in a cramped house in rural Colombia and works stripping thorns from flowers in a rose plantation. The offer of a lucrative job involving travel--in fact, becoming a drug "mule"--changes the course of her life. Far from the uneventful trip she is promised, Maria is transported into the risky and ruthless world of international drug trafficking. Her mission becomes one of determination and survival and she finally emerges with the grace that will carry her forward into a new life." (IMDB)
"Orlando Tobon, who plays a COlombian immigrant helping Maria survive in New York, had a similar role in real life. He has over the years helped identify and bury more than 400 "mules" who died after the drug pellets ruptured in their stomachs. He is also known as the Mayor of LIttle Colombia, which refers to the town of Jackson Heights in Queens, New York." (8 Days)
