Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna)

UNDER THE SAME MOON (LA MISMA LUNA) tells the parallel stories of nine-year-old Carlitos and his mother, Rosario. In the hopes of providing a better life for her son, Rosario works illegally in the U.S. while her mother cares for Carlitos back in Mexico. Unexpected circumstances drive both Rosario and Carlitos to embark on their own journeys in a desperate attempt to reunite. Along the way, mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again. Riggen's film is not only a heartwarming family story; she also offers subtle commentary on the much-debated issue of illegal immigration.

THis movie makes you feel proud to

be Mexican

[karencarpenterfan]

Although I'm not Mexican myself, I would be proud to be Mexican by watching this movie. The way Mexicans are able to overcome such hardships... it's very commendable, because I don't think many of us realize what Mexican immigrants have to deal with once they get to the United States. It's really something that tears people apart, inside and out. But the Mexicans' perseverance is noticeable not only now, but throughout history.

and once they get to America they're faced with a rapacious oligarchy and a mistaken mass of people who'll try to blame them for the exploits of the oligarchy. Hence, "they terk er jerbs."
