Weeping Under This Same Moon

Weeping Under This Same Moon is based on the true story of two teenage girls from two different cultures whose path intertwine, dramatically altering the course of their lives. Mei is an artist who must flee war torn Vietnam. Her anguished parents are forced to send her and her two siblings on a perilous escape during the exodus of thousands of Vietnamese refugees, labeled "Boat People". Hannah is an angry American high school student who hears about the plight of the Boat People and is moved to action. Destiny brings Mei and Hannah together in a celebration of cultures and language, food and friendship and the ultimate rescue of both young women from their own despair. It is a testament to the spirit of volunteerism, affirming that doing for others does so much for oneself.
