[KeyStoneChapter] Upcoming In-person Accessibility Event: Unseen Film Screening. A film intersecting Disability, Immigration, and Mental Health. Wednesday October 23rd 7:00 PM at Swarthmore College.

[Simon Bonenfant]

Good evening everyone,

I wanted to spread the word about an upcoming in-person event this
Wednesday, October 23rd, at 7:00 PM at Swarthmore College. The event is a
screening of the recently released film called Unseen. The film focuses on
the integration of disability, immigration, and mental health. The Film’s
protagonist, Pedro, is a blind undocumented immigrant. The story chronicles
his journey of obtaining his social work degree, and the struggles he has
faced along the way. After the film, there will be a Q&A with Pedro, as
well as the film director, Set Hernandez. Pedro and Set happen to be
personal friends of mine, so it is a privilege to welcome them to
Philadelphia and uplift their incredible work.



Here is a description of the film: “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.”

The film will be audio described.



The address where the event will be held is: LPAC Cinema

*Swarthmore College*

* 500 College Avenue Swarthmore, PA 19081*



*I hope to see many of you come out to this uplifting and inspiring event!*

*Thanks. *

*Simon.*
