Spanning several years, UNSEEN takes us through Pedro’s intersectional experience and its impact on his mental health. As Pedro devotes himself to achieving his undergraduate degree, the future and his ability to accomplish his goals remain sources of anxiety that weigh heavily on him. But as he continues his commitment to providing care for others, Pedro begins to shed the power his traumas hold over him. Poetically told with sensory intention that places the audience in Pedro’s lived experience, this documentary bears witness to his emotionally candid testimony while creating a more accessible and inclusive cinema. —C.F.GUEST(S) IN ATTENDANCEIn addition to this film offering Audio Description and Closed Captions, audience members can also download additional accessibility features HERE, including Enhanced Transcript and Preshow Audio Description.
