Movie Haiku:Beautifully acted & heartfelt story about a Mexican kid (Alonso) looking for his mother (del Castillo), now working illegally in LA''s underground economy. Kudos to America Ferrara for using her clout by taking an unsympathetic bit part to help open narrow minds in the current "immigration debate." Yes, a bit long & a bit contrived, but BRAVO!
