The Debate over PRECIOUS webcast

Maria Full Of Grace
Catalina Sandrino Moreno was nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of a Colombian teenager who, for a large paycheck, agrees to be a mule for drug-runners: she has to swallow dozens of thumb-sized capsules of heroin and smuggle them into New York. Her empathetic face carries us along on Maria's journey, and humanizes a problem that is too easily relegated to a headline. Don't miss the supporting role played by DV Republic's own Monique Curnen!
Monique Curnen
Monique Curnen is is an actor and producer. Her acting credits include roles in the highly acclaimed film MARIA FULL OF GRACE (Joshua Marston - Audience Award, 2004 Sundance Film Festival), ANGEL (Jim McKay), KATE & LEOPOLD(James Mangold). She has just completed work on the 2006 releases LADY IN THE WATER (M. Night Shyamalan), BERNARD AND DORIS (Bob Balaban) and HALF NELSON (Ryan Fleck) which was a crtics favorite at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
