Fernando and His Llama Friend

It's tough being a deaf kid. Why can't he speak or hear properly? The story of a Deaf Colombian boy who moves to Canada. Due to his deafness, Fernando struggles to understand teachers, and his hearing aid isn't reliable, making him a target for ridicule. Yearning to learn sign language, his school lacks resources. Upon meeting a deaf Llama, they bond instantly, embarking on a quest to reunite the Llama with its family, encountering communication barriers along the way. The show, in ASL with voice-over, features an all-deaf cast from Canada, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility.
