In 1857, a man in Little Dixie, Missouri, becomes entangled in an intergalactic crisis after aiding an alien from a crashed spaceship, setting the stage for a generational saga of cosmic politics and heritage. UNDERNEATH: Children of the Sun is an independent science-fiction feature film exploring legacy, power, faith, and the unseen forces that shape identity across generations. The film was made by a small, but passionate team with real historical locations such as President Ulysses Grant’s Estate. This is the first movie ever to shoot there. Released here by choice.
