Con artist Verbal Kint is the survivor of a massacre at the harbor of San Pedro Bay, and he’s interrogated by U.S. Customs Agent Dave Kujan (Chazz Palminteri). Wanting to know the whole story, Kujan convinces Kint to talk. Since he’s already gotten near immunity, Kint obliges by starting the tale six weeks earlier when five cons meet one another in a line-up.

    In modern day Latin America people struggle for even the most basic of human needs such as water, sanitation, and food. Governments in many countries do little to help lift the people out of poverty and give way to a higher quality of life for the poor while letting companies with vast resources come into their country, take their resources, and in return do little other than pay a meager wage to those who labor for these companies. The systems that are put in place by forced democracy are meant to keep separation between the rich and the poor. Three movies that depict how these systems work, or don’t work, are City of God, Even the Rain, and Trinkets and Beads. These movies have commonalities that the people of Latin America deal with day to day like loyalty, poverty, drug trafficking, slums, and exploitation of the indigenous people.…

Although we have made improvements, whether they are far and few between, it does not ensure a colorblind society.
