A Mexican film, directed by Patricia Riggen, faced numerous challenges while in production. The movie: “Under the Same Moon” was nearly scrapped by the director. But she persevered and finished it.

According to Reuters, a news-wire service, “the Spanish-language film, which debuted in major U.S. cities this week and will play around the country in days ahead, puts a human face on illegal immigration. Yet, Riggen hopes audiences will see beyond political issues and be touched by the tale of a mother and son who long to reunite.”

Fox Searchlight, the art-house distributor of the hit-movie “Juno,” snapped it up so that the Mexican film can be shown in many theaters nationwide.

“Under the Same Moon” features a Mexican mother, Rosario, working illegally as a domestic laborer in Los Angeles, while her son Carlos remains in Mexico.
