“unseen” Director Set Hernandez on How Their New Film Amplifies Undocumented, Disabled Voices

Watch Part 2 of our interview with Set Hernandez, director of the new documentary unseen, which is now streaming on POV and follows Pedro, who is blind and undocumented, as he works toward a degree in social work. Hernandez describes his approach to experimental cinematography to promote accessibility for blind and low-vision audiences. “How can I remind undocumented people and migrants and people with disabilities that we are enough, we don’t need to prove anything?” Hernandez said they asked themselves while making the film. “How can we look at each other, lean on each other? Because at the end of the day we need to be interdependent with each other.”
