Big Read Presents: Under the Same Moon

Fishtrap presents the movie Under the Same Moon in both Wallowa and Joseph. It’s all part of The Big Read celebration of Luis Alberto Urrea’s novel, Into the Beautiful North.
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. Mother and son face challenges and obstacles but never lose hope that they will one day be together again. The film is a heartwarming family story that also offers subtle commentary on the much-debated issue of illegal immigration.
