The unique thing that reaches me is how women do not have a choice, especially when it comes down to sex. Vulnerability is one of a woman's weaknesses.

The quote stated in this essay that really hits home is "Made in South America where life is cheap." I,

as a Hispanic, am terribly offended by this statement. This statement basically says that South America has many lowlives', and that anything can happen to them because life there is worth very little.

Snuff films are usually made in South America because, as said in the statement above, life is not worth much there.
