 n\nAbstract: This paper addresses the cultural politics of multilingual 
 translation in documentary films made in Peru\, Bolivia and Ecuador by E
 uropean and North American television networks during the 1950s-1960s to
  publicise the International Labour Organisation’s Andean Programme. Tec
 hnical Assistance films including The Forgotten Indians (1956) and Kanta
 tiskiwa: Le jour se lève (1963) were rarely shown in the Andean region i
 tself but circulated widely on European television. Drawing on recent re
 search at the ILO archive\, I ask how TV channels’ use of subtitling\, d
 ubbing and over-voicing solved practical transborder communication issue
 s but also encoded complex cultural dynamics of extractivism\, coloniali
 ty\, worker solidarity and diplomacy. I further reflect on these long-fo
 rgotten films’ potential present-day resonances\, based on recent archiv
 al and community screenings I have organised in La Paz (Bolivia) and Pun
 o (Peru).\n\nDavid Wood is Investigador Titular at the Instituto de Inve
 stigaciones Estéticas (IIE)\, Universidad Autónoma Nacional de México\, 
 and Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the School of European Languages\
 , Culture and Society at UCL\, London.
