Review of Under the Same Moon (2007) by Jakob R — 02 Sep 2016

I wish that the people who cheer when Donald Trump talks about building a wall along the Mexican border could see this film, and think of these characters as fellow human beings instead of numbers. They are just doing what all of our ancestors did and trying to find a better life in a new land. The jobs they work as illegals are ones no American workers would want and the way they are treated is a shame on our humanity.

This film also reminds me of one of my son's favorite movies from his childhood---An American Tail, which also has a little boy separated from his parents while immigrating to American, and has lovely music.
