Film Synopsis: Learn the mostly untold history of Filipino American nurses, what led them to immigrate to the U.S., and how they risked their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic despite an increasing wave of anti-AAPI sentiment, in the latest from director Michele Josue (“Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine”—CIFF38). —M.G
When Covid-19 impacted America’s frontline healthcare workers, one demographic was hit especially hard: Filipino nurses. Nearly a third of all nurses who died during the pandemic were Filipino. For decades, Filipino nurses have been a staple of the U.S. healthcare system, and their hard work and dedication to patients have touched countless lives. Exploring the history of Filipino nurses in the United States, NURSE UNSEEN takes viewers through colonialism, immigration, and the lasting legacy of the Filipino community in the healthcare system. A heartfelt and illuminating documentary, NURSE UNSEEN shares these largely untold stories from generations of Filipino nurses. —G.S.
