The film unseen will be released by POV on March 18th, and Dicata is honored to have provided the Spanish audio description for the film, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, project H327C210001. Unseen uses experimental cinematography and sound to reimagine film accessibility for blind and low-vision audiences, and careful work has been done to provide total accessibility for them.

Unseen is a compelling narrative centered around Pedro, a blind, undocumented immigrant with aspirations of becoming a social worker. Despite facing political barriers, Pedro perseveres through his college education, aiming to support his family and community. The film explores themes of immigration, disability, and mental health, showcasing Pedro's journey from uncertainty to self-discovery and healing.

The film has received several accolades including being shortlisted at the 39th IDA Documentary Awards, winning the CAAMFest 2023 Documentary Competition Award, and winning three separate awards at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.

Director Set Hernandez also won the 2024 Truer Than Fiction Award at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, which is given to an upcoming director of non-fiction features that has yet to receive significant recognition.

This production used talent with visual disabilities in the production of its accessibility elements. Protagonist and Co-Writer Pedro used his voice for the Spanish dubbing of the film and the English and Spanish versions of the audio description were narrated by Nefertiti Matos Olivares. Director Set Hernandez also voiced some of the Spanish dubbing along his co-writer.

The English version of unseen will be available through PBS, and Spanish-speaking audiences can use the All4Acess app to listen to the film's Spanish dubbing and audio description.

After its release, you can watch unseen on stream on all PBS-branded platforms, including pbs.org.
