10 Kilos
Inspired by a best selling true story by Sharon Yitzhaki.
Sharon went to Bolivia with a young guy she barely knew. She was framed and accused of smuggling 10 kilos of cocaine across the border. They threw her into Bolivia's most atrocious women's prison. News stations picked up the story and Sharon soon became the most "famous" woman convicted in the country.
She carried on a tempestuous love affair with the head of the Bolivian drug cartel who was in the adjacent men's jail. With this connection she became the biggest drug dealer in the prison. Sharon's gathered around her a 'family', adopting a seven-year-old orphan girl and bonding with a beautiful transgender person. She got addicted to cocaine but recovered so she could look after her 'family'.
A lucky break came when the Pope declared a "Holy Year of Mercy" for the millennium, and Sharon used a loophole in the law to escape with her 'family' to New York. This happened before her 26th birthday... and it's all true.
