My reactions to this movie is that I think its a very powerful film that shows where and how muling takes place. It also shows how dangerous it can be when you get mixed up in drug violence. What I can learn about muling in a short period of time is that it can be deadly and fatal if things go wrong during the process. I also learned that its never a guarantee that you won't get caught or have one of the pellets erupt inside you. Muling is when organizers employ mules to reduce the risk of getting caught themselves, while often profiting the most. The mule typically gets paid an amount which is small compared to the profit, but large for somebody with little money, so that it seems for him or her an easy way to make money. Sometimes the goods are hidden in a bag or vehicle of an innocent person, who does not know about this, for the purpose of retreiving the goods elsewhere. Most of the time the goods are swallowed and the mule is used as a containor to carry them to a destination, usually a different country. I think muling takes place in probably a lot of countries, but the most known would be Cuba or Colombia and the United States. That would be because drugs are very common in those countries and are probably commonly used or sold, as a lot of other countries do. Muling is more common in women in most countries because it is a lot harder for them to find great jobs, as a result they end up trafficking drugs. In most third world countries some women are not able to find jobs and end up doing just about anything to support their families. Drug trafficking includes selling drugs and drug equipment. It is either a local exchange between a user and a dealer or a international operation. It is a problem that affects every nation in the world on many levels. From the film Maria Full of Grace the drugs that are being trafficked are a international operation which involves deporting it from one country to another.
