three alternative approaches to describe "Maria Full of Grace"
31 March 2006
Even though this film is sociologically based on a reality faced and associated to Colombians it does not necessary reflect the current situation of Colombia.

I will like briefly to propose three different alternatives to describe it.

First, I would say that the film portrays a case study of the American Dream focused particularly on Colombians. And the issue drugs smuggling was introduced since it has been associated to Colombians. This film illustrates anthropological issues of migration, such as social networks connections, ethnicity associate to particular trade, etc.

Second, this is a film on transnational illegal markets. This film describes and provides a human face to the logistics of cocaine trafficking.

Third, this film could be also illustrates some of the negative consequences of globalization on labour conditions to individuals and communities in producing countries specifically in the cut flower industry.
