Interesting enough story of the infamous Northern Irish drugs mule. I'd have preferred if it had been longer to examine more of her background growing up in the North, and also her time in Ancon prison in Peru. For example I think she was a hostess in a Belfast nightclub before she went to Ibiza so she would've hardly been a "babe in the woods" when it comes to witnessing the drug scene. However, unlike some of the Calvinistic reviewers here, I think it's fine when ex-convicts make money from their stories. The clue is in the "ex" part. She did the crime and she did her time. Would you people have her live on welfare in a council house for the rest of her days because of what she did? It's not like she murdered or even assaulted anyone. There are actors in Hollywood (like the late Tony. Sirico for example) who came into fame and fortune on the back of being CAREER criminals. McCollum on the other hand did this one foolish & naive thing for a relatively small amount of money. She has matured beyond her years (still only in her 20s) and has a family now too. Give her a break!
It is a sobering documentary that does not glamourise what she did. The consequences of criminal behaviour are fully shown.....cockroaches, prison stabbings and all. It's not as if the documentary abruptly ends when she boarded that plane to Lima.
