Our film unapologetically prioritized blind and undocumented immigrant audiences – communities that are systemically pushed to the margins. As unseen’s impact campaign comes to a close after two years, we want to share our process and journey with you. Geared for those who want to use cinema for social impact, this episode was recorded during a live webinar where we unpacked every step of our impact campaign. Featuring the disabled-, queer-, and undocumented-led team behind unseen, we contemplate process, values centered, and learnings gained to bring to life our film and its impact campaign.
