When President Jimmy Carter gave a speech in Japan back in the early 1980s, he opened with a joke to warm up the crowd. The audience burst out laughing — more than he expected.

Afterward, Carter asked the interpreter how he managed to translate the joke so well.

The interpreter smiled and admitted, “I didn’t translate the joke. I just said, ‘President Carter told a funny story. Everyone please laugh.’”

NextShark is thrilled to present the following short film “What Did They Say?” by filmmaker @kevjkk 🌟

"For API Heritage Month, I wanted to create a little film that reflects the complexity of being a child translator. I hope that it acts as a conversation starter for what may seem so innocent at first, but in hindsight can create some uncomfortable memories."
