ABOUT THE FILM
In South America, there are 10 million people who speak Quechua, yet no film has ever been dubbed in this language. Fernando Valencia, a radio host and independent dubbing artist, wants to change that and embarks first on a small project called Quechua Clips. Aided by his son Dylan, he dubs scenes from famous films into Quechua and uploads them to the internet so that millions of Quechua-speaking people can enjoy these glimpses of cinematic magic. But Fernando’s big dream is to fully dub the animated film The Lion King, his all-time favorite. The big obstacle is that he needs to get the go-ahead from The Walt Disney Company.
