Maria Full of Grace

From a longer post:

Yesterday afternoon, in the rain, M made the relatively short trip up to Chelmsford and then we drove to see “Maria Full of Grace.” It’s about a young woman who becomes a drug mule as a way out of the bleak prospects of life working at a Columbian flower plantation. It’s harrowing at times, but a fascinating look at one immigrant’s dangerous journey to New York. The Columbian actress playing Maria gives a subtle performance as a quietly determined young woman who is uneducated but sharp enough to size up situations pretty clearly. But will her instincts and enough luck get her through? You pull for her all the way.
