Christine Mladic Janney’s documentary short entitled “Living Quechua” was featured in a New York Times piece from August 15, 2014 about a new Kichwa language radio program that is being broadcast weekly from the Bronx. The NYT article discusses Segundo J. Angamarca’s work creating and launching Kichwa Hatari, a radio broadcast dedicated to discussing Kichwa, a variety of Quechua, a language spoken by many in the Andean Highlands in Ecuador and Peru.
