unseen, the debut feature documentary film by Filipino-American director Set
Hernandez - recent winner of the Independent Spirit Awards' Truer than
Fiction Award, presented to an emerging director of non-fiction features -
uses experimental cinematography and sound, as well as a person-first
approach to center the lived experiences of a blind protagonist and his
queer filmmaker friend whose undocumented status has impacted their choices.


 

The documentary begins as an observational journey of Pedro, an aspiring
social worker who happens to be a blind undocumented immigrant from Mexico,
confronting political restrictions in order to get his college degree. Made
over the course of seven years and guided by a conversation between him and
director Hernandez, unseen explores Pedro's relationships to everyone around
him: his family who supports him while he studies to become a mental health
professional, his close-knit group of friends who also navigate personal
struggles and experiences, and his triathlon coach who encourages him on
long distance bike rides.
