Description
This event was originally posted by UMBC's Office of Accessibility and Disability Services.
Join us for the UMBC (free) screening of unseen, an award-winning documentary described as:
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.
