This also unfortunately coincided with seeing a report of one in a similar position.

However, in this instance, it resulted in a completely different outcome.

They received a massive outpouring of concern, compassion, empathy, and financial support.

The difference? Replace multiple disabilities with recovering from #cancer.

And the movie is about a blind, immigrant, HEALTHCARE PROVIDER. The irony.

Her ignorance makes me think that they’ll have ICE there too. Why not, when they’ll have Covid and whatever else is going around at the showing?

About the movie:

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 as a healthcare provider, and support his family. As he finally graduates, uncertainty looms over Pedro. What starts as a journey to provide mental health for his community ultimately transforms into Pedro’s path towards his own healing. Through experimental cinematography and sound, unseen reimagines a cinema accessible for blind/low vision audiences, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health.

Lately I have been feeling very misunderstood. People don’t get me. How can they when my thinking and behaviours are flip around. I can argue a point, but then play devils advocate and argue the opposite.

I think I prefer the times when I feel taken for granted. They span longer periods, but don’t hurt so deeply.

Both situations make me feel #unseen.
