I am A Taxi

FOR TWELVE-YEAR-OLD DIEGO AND HIS FAMILY, HOME IS THE SAN SEBASTIAN WOMEN`S PRISON IN COCHABAMBA, BOLIVIA. HIS PARENTS FARMED COCA, A TRADITIONAL BOLIVIAN MEDICINAL PLANT, UNTIL THEY GOT CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GOVERNMENT`S WAR ON DRUGS. DIEGO`S ADJUSTED TO HIS NEW LIFE. HIS PARENTS ARE LOCKED UP, BUT HE CAN COME AND GO: TO SCHOOL, TO THE MARKET TO SELL HIS MOTHER`S HAND-KNITTED GOODS, AND TO WORK AS A "TAXI," RUNNING ERRANDS FOR OTHER PRISONERS. BUT THEN HIS LITTLE SISTER RUNS AWAY, EARNING HIS MOTHER A HEAVY FINE. THE DEBT AND DAWNING REALIZATION OF HIS HOPELESS SITUATION MAKE HIM VULNERABLE TO HIS FRIEND MANDO`S PLAN TO MAKE BIG MONEY, FAST. SOON, DIEGO IS DEEP IN THE JUNGLE, WORKING AS A VIRTUAL SLAVE IN AN ILLEGAL COCAINE OPERATION. AS HIS SITUATION BECOMES MORE AND MORE DANGEROUS, HE KNOWS HE MUST TAKE A TERRIBLE RISK IF HE EVER WANTS TO SEE HIS FAMILY AGAIN. .... ; . , . , . . , -- . , . , . . , , , - . . - , - , .
