...symbols of a central tenet of their faith that only "celestial marriage" [polygamy] gains believers admission to the highest level of Heaven. (Upon reaching puberty, FLDS girls are required to marry, usually into the existing families of older men.) Furthermore, says Beall, the young women may harbor feelings of guilt and shame as victims now that they left what they have been taught to believe are the safe and sacrosanct confines of the FLDS community...
...wasn’t afraid of God, after I had heard his protests as he was escorted out, I was left sitting in my armchair a little less comfortably. The unease I felt during the man’s disruption was outlasted and overwhelmed by a nagging feeling of guilt that lingered after the arrest. We’re lucky enough to attend a university that pays such attention to our comfort.

But MGM wasn't a studio that encouraged innovation or eccentricity, and Dassin's seven feature films there are program pictures that hold no, repeat...
It’s not hard to see why “Under the Same Moon” (“La Misma luna”) received a standing ovation at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. It contains basically everything that would appeal to your average guilt-ridden liberal: lots of ethnic flavor, bad white people, hard-working Mexicans, and an adorable kid who embodies everything good about (illegal) immigrant heroism. Overall, “Under the Same Moon” is watchable, entertaining, and well-meaning, but the predictable plot fails to address immigration as a complex social issue...
