Unseen: Film Screening and Q&A
Monday, April 29 | 12:00pm - 2:00pm
Santa Rosa campus. Santa Rosa Intercultural Center, Pioneer 380
Join us for the film screening of “Unseen” along with an opportunity to engage with Pedro, (protagonist & co-writer) & Set Hernandez (director).
Film synopsis: 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 as a health care provider, and support his family. As he finally graduates, uncertainty looms over Pedro. What starts as a journey to provide mental health for his community ultimately transforms into Pedro’s path towards his own healing. Through experimental cinematography and sound, unseen reimagines a cinema accessible for blind/low vision audiences, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health.
In collaboration with APASS, APISA, Santa Rosa Intercultural Center; Disability Resources, Undocu Immigrant Dream Center; Student Health PEERS, Disability Awareness and Culture Committee.
