Movies with a Message returns the 2nd Saturday of the month on September 14, 2024

This month’s movie is called Unseen.

“Unseen”:  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. Through experimental cinematography and sound, UNSEEN reimagines the accessibility of cinema, while exploring the intersections of immigration, disability, and mental health.

Join Suze Shaner and Dan Brodax for an enlightening evening of Movies with a Message. Using Spiritual Cinema’s movie shorts, we explore life’s big questions and engage in meaningful discussions. Join us on the second Saturday of each month from 6:30-8:30 pm at UUCD in the Fellowship Hall Lower Level. Bring your own dinner and we’ll provide water and gluten-free popcorn. Donations to UUCD are welcome. Don’t miss out on these thought-provoking films. Check the calendar for future dates!
