“Under the Same Moon” (2007) overview

“La Misma Luna” (original Spanish title)

[ “Under the Same Moon” official poster ]

The debut feature from director Patricia Riggen, this drama centers on a young boy's journey across the US/Mexico border to be reunited with his mother.

The story carefully touches a painful subject such as illegal immigration.

Carlitos (well portrayed by Adrian Alonso), a Mexican adolescent living with his grandmother while his mother works as a maid in the US, hoping someday to send for her child.

When the grandmother dies unexpectedly, Carlitos must sneak across the border and seek out his mother...

ABC's “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera performed here as Marta.

“Under the Same Moon” was premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival where it received a standing-ovation.
