Description

An Appalachian Summer Festival presents, thorough the Magic of Motion Pictures film series, "Under the Same Moon." Premièred at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, this poignant film traces the journey of nine-year-old Carlitos, across the U.S./Mexico border to be reunited with his mother. She works illegally in the U.S. in order to provide a better life for her son, while her mother takes care of him in Mexico. When his grandmother dies unexpectedly, Carlitos faces insurmountable odds to reach his mother, never losing hope that they will be reunited again. This is a moving film about a cross-cultural journey filled with depth and brilliance.

Come early, enjoy pre-film concessions, and then join festival board member and film enthusiast Dr. John Pfeifer in the auditorium for a fascinating introduction to the film.

This film is rated PG-13 and runs for 106 min.

All tickets are $10.
