The story that touched me the most was the movie "Under the same moon." It was about a mother and son who was apart from each other. Carlitos was living in Mexico with his grandmother, while his mother was living in the United States. Rosario did domestic jobs in order to support her son and herself. After Carlitos grandmother died, he felt the need to find his mother and be reunited with her no matter what it takes. So little Carlitos went out on his own to the USA. After many obstacles and struggles he endured, Carlitos was finally reunited with his mother. He went to the spot she called him from every Sunday at 10 AM. All that was keeping them apart at this moment was flowing traffic and walk signals.

 This story touched me the most because it shows the struggles and hardships that people go through on a daily basis. It is a difficult situation to be in.We take everything for granted but some people struggle just to get a little for survival. Many people are separated from their families because of immigration.But Carlitos was determined to see his mother no matter what it took from him. He was a brave little boy because he left Mexico by himself without any sense of direction of where he was going. What touched me was that he had determination to go through all this by himself with just a mailbox number and the place where his mother works phone number. This was all the information he had, it was a tiny piece of information but he was confident that he will find her with this. Also he met Enrique who hard a hard shell around him, but he reached out to Carlitos to help him find his mother. What touched me about this is that people break down their barriers and reach out when we need them and they too have their struggles of their own that they have to deal with. What touched me the most was to see the emotional reunion with Carlitos and his mother Rosario. It is a moment that alot of people are longing to have with their family members;to be happily reunited. This was a very emotional and touching story for me.
