Hollywood has been criticised for its practice of whitewashing. Now, the voice acting world faces questions.

Also: Kelvin Han Yee, a Chinese-American actor, broke his parents' heart and wonders if it was worth it; a birdwatcher begs Hollywood to get its bird sounds right; Disney/Pixar鈥檚 鈥淐oco,鈥 which was a hit in Mexico, comes to the US; Laela French, a Star Wars buff, explains the origins of Darth Vader鈥檚 costume; and in the documentary 鈥淒reamland鈥 the Wabanaki people take back their narrative.
