From PRX:
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 in his field, and support his family. As he finally graduates, uncertainty looms over Pedro. What starts as a journey to provide mental health care for his community ultimately transforms into Pedro’s path towards his own healing. Based on the award-winning film, Unseen: Life as a Blind Immigrant is an immersive show that puts you inside Pedro’s life, while exploring immigration, disability, and new ways to experience a podcast.”
The podcast incorporates the audio description of the film, which Cheryl wrote in consultation with Thomas, and Nefertiti narrated. It’s an opportunity to experience the film in the same way Blind and low-vision audience members do, but with better than everyday sound. PRX suggests: Be sure to listen with headphones on.
New episodes drop every Tuesday in October, celebrating World Blindness Awareness Month. Listen and subscribe on your favorite podcast platform, including Apple Podcasts and YouTube. For other podcast players, use this RSS feed.
