About the movie

BRINGING HUMANITY TO A HEATED DEBATE Every controversy has a human face, especially the issue of illegal immigration. Indie film "Under the Same Moon" succeeds in breaking down the complexities of the issue to its basic human components. This special two-day screening sponsored by Real Flicks, the Cloverdale Arts Alliance’s popular independent film series, will be screened at Clover Cinemas on Monday, May 26 and Tuesday, May 27 at 7:00 pm. Director Patricia Riggen and screenwriter Ligiah Villalobos have created a gentle bit of agitprop on behalf of people who have few voices raised on their behalf, made user-friendly through some English-language dialogue and a cameo appearance by America Ferrera of "Ugly Betty." "Under the Same Moon" is, at its heart, a road-trip film with a twist. The film is the story of a scrappy Mexican youth who hasn't seen his mother in four years because she is working, without a green card, as a domestic in Los Angeles. But every Sunday she calls him from a pay phone. Living with his grandmother who can no longer care for him, the boy crosses into the United States illegally to find his mother. His only clue to her location is her description of the corner where the phone is located and his journey paints an emotional portrait of the impermanent nature of lives lived illegally and on the run. Real Flicks’ post-movie discussion group will convene to share their impressions of Under the Same Moon on Monday, May 26 at the Center for the Arts, located just a few doors west of Clover Cinemas.
