Re: Organic Roses and Flowers

Re bad conditions: the movie Maria Full of Grace shows some of the 
working conditions, as well as the desperation to get out. I'm not 
sure I would have chosen to have some of the images from that movie 
implanted in my brain, if I had known more about it beforehand, but 
every time I see or hear about flowers grown in South America, I 
think of that movie.
