Doubles is a documentary investigation conducted by Leticia Obeid in 2011 during a residency in Mexico City. Her decision to enter the world of Mexican voice acting emerged from a personal question with an almost affective character, about the condition of those voices that inhabited the cartoons of her childhood, those dislocated images that traversed vast distances, barriers, and rings of information in order to arrive at her house. By exploring the political and economic history of the trade of voice acting in Mexico, Doubles broadens her initial question to reveal a space of conflict in which all the tensions proper to globalization come into play: the big beating up on the small, strategies for negotiating cultural barriers, the appearance of new codes of communication born at the speed of electronic media, the more or less explicit resistances to diverse forms of imperialism, as well as collaboration, and transformations that irreversibly affect content.
