Filmmaker Set Hernandez makes their Feature Directorial debut with a profound multi-platform documentary that expands the audience experience of non-fiction storytelling. The film follows Pedro, an aspiring social worker who happens to be a blind, undocumented immigrant.
Through ambient sound and experimental cinematography, Hernandez effects a new truth-telling by visualizing to the audience what its like to be blind. It is an elevated example of how Cinema can build understanding.
