Documentary Screening: "Nurse Unseen"

Join the Enoch Pratt Free Library, in partnership with Towson University's Asian Arts & Culture Center, in a screening of the documentary, "Nurse Unseen", which examines the largely untold story of the Filipino nurses at the backbone of the American healthcare system. "Nurse Unseen" explores the little-known history and humanity of the unsung Filipino nurses risking their lives on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic while facing a resurgence of anti-Asian hate in the streets. "Nurse Unseen" seeks to explain why so many Filipino nurses left the Philippines to work in the U.S. healthcare system and why they have been so disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Enjoy a light reception of Filipino food prior to the film, and speak with "Nurse Unseen" Director, Emmy-award winning filmmaker Michele Josue, through a live virtual Q&A after the film.
