unseen

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.

Directed by queer, undocumented filmmaker, writer, and community organizer Set Hernandez, Unseen is a visually innovative, audio-centric documentary that reimagines the accessibility of cinema, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health. The film is also groundbreaking as one of the first media projects ever to be led by an intersectional team of queer, undocumented immigrant and disabled/blind artists

Filmmaker Set Hernandez will join for a post-screening conversation with Ezra Brown, Clinical Teaching Fellow at the Immigration Law & Advocacy Clinic.
