Film: Unseen
Description:
Most people dream of a better future. Pedro, an aspiring social worker, is no different. But as a blind, undocumented immigrant, Pedro faces political restrictions to obtain his college degree, secure a job in his field, and support his family. As he finally graduates, uncertainty looms over Pedro. What starts as a journey to provide mental health care for his community ultimately transforms into Pedro’s path towards his own healing. Through experimental cinematography and sound, UNSEEN reimagines the accessibility of cinema, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health.
This film is part of our Symposium conversation. This year, our theme is Evaluating the Criminalization of the Intersectionality of Race and Disability: Through The Lens of Disability Justice.
A short discussion will follow the viewing of this film.
Resources from these filmmakers will be shared after our discussion.
