Verdict on Nurse Unseen
Nurse Unseen is a documentary exploring the unsung Filipino nurses who risked their lives on the front line during the pandemic. It follows how they became part of American culture and selflessly put their lives on the line to help people. However, like many other nurses, they weren’t supplied with the correct protection.
Elsewhere, they dealt with racial tensions led by the leader of the nation which saw them blamed for the pandemic. It follows the battle to save lives and remain the silent guardian angels of victims against the odds.
This movie represents the divide created during the pandemic and how the numbers showed more Filipinos were dying trying to save people’s lives. It goes on to reflect how the news presented other events during the pandemic, where they were just statistics. This is an important documentary, it once again proves how important everyone from different backgrounds wants the same things in life. They help people in need and deserve the respect of anyone who gets is lucky enough to have them touch their lives. This continues the need to accept how important people are in life and how they can change and save others.
