When a rare total solar eclipse is set to pass directly over a small Arkansas town, its residents get one shot at putting their sleepy community at the center of the universe.
Staring Up at the Same Sun, a 70-minute feature documentary, follows the people of Petit Jean Mountain and nearby Morrilton, Arkansas, as they await a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic event and the promise of tens of thousands of visitors at their doorstep. The eclipse will last four minutes. The film is about everything leading to those four minutes, as told by the people of a small town where nothing ever happens, given the rare certainty of knowing exactly when something extraordinary is coming.
