Mariana is literally the only journalist that these underground people trust to report the story... And it's because she understands she has to play by their rules and she gives them respect.

Thank you for covering the stories that people are interested in but most journalists can't get.

[@Cardb33]

I disagree. It's an honest living when you are a poor farmer. People want to consume drugs, they produce them. It's like saying KFC isn't making an honest living cause they sell chicken. I think it's wrong to see this as a dishonest living. Trust me if bananas or another crop paid them enough to not starve to death they would produce them but it's not that way. The USA and multinational corporations exploit South American farmers and have for a very long time, they are the dishonest ones, not the farmers.
