Perhaps one of the most iconic modern films in this genre is the 2007 Mexican-American drama Under the Same Moon , directed by Patricia Riggen. The film tells the parallel stories of nine-year-old Carlitos (Adrián Alonso) in Mexico and his mother, Rosario (Kate del Castillo), who works as a housekeeper in the United States to provide a better life for her son. The director shows us the beautiful, aching bond of a mother and son separated by physical distance and a political border, kept together by the constant hope of reuniting. The image of Rosario secretly listening to her son’s voice on a tape recorder, or Carlitos resolutely crossing the border on his own, are powerful testaments to an unbreakable family tie. Kate del Castillo’s performance as the devoted Rosario, perfectly complemented by Adrián Alonso’s determined Carlitos, forms the film's emotional core, creating images of sacrifice and hope that have defined the genre for a generation.
