Nurse Unseen is a feature-length documentary that explores the little-known history and humanity of the unsung Filipino nurses risking their lives on the frontlines of a pandemic, thousands of miles from home. The film unearths the colonial ties between the Philippines and the United States that have led to Filipino-American nurses becoming the unknown backbone of the United States health industry.

The Black Cape (Medium)

Sadness and loss underscore the movie’s celebration of the Filipino women and their families who sacrificed so much over the years to come to the US and work in the hospitals here.

It is all quite uplifting and jovial, all things considered. Nurse Unseen is a fantastic and engaging historical and relevant document. It is surprisingly light about a heavy subject.

Rated: 9/10

To say that Nurse Unseen is an emotionally resonant film is an understatement. The film soars with its personal stories and aching vulnerability.

An important documentation of Filipino-American history during unprecedented times, but also a piece of American history still left unseen. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of films centering the Filipino-American experience.
