Hispanic Heritage Movie Night: "Under the Same Moon"

Join us for a film series that celebrates the stories, dreams, and experiences of the Latin American community! From Sept. 13 to Oct. 11, the Wallingford Public Library & Spanish Community of Wallingford (SCOW) will co-host Friday night screenings of films that explore Latine characters and culture in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Following this five-week series, we will show a Latin-themed movie the second Friday of the month from fall to late spring. All are welcome to attend; no registration is required. 

Our third film in the series will be the 2007 family drama Under the Same Moon (Rated PG-13). This powerful movie tells the story of single mother Rosario (Kate del Castillo), who leaves her young son Carlitos in the care of his grandmother to illegally cross the border into the U.S. Though she hopes to eventually make a better life for herself and her son, she toils in a dead-end job as a cleaning lady in Los Angeles. When Carlitos' grandmother passes away some years later, the boy begins a difficult and dangerous journey to join her at long last.
