El Che: Investigating A Legend

"Che Guevara is more popular now, more than 30 years after his death, than when he was alive." -NY Times

Ernesto "Che" Guevara de la Serna represents one of the most enduring images of a political leader. His legendary character has been an inspiration for millions, yet many condemn him-sometimes bitterly. For all, he is a subject of controversy and passion.

This fascinating film examines the myth of the "most idolized revolutionary of the 20th century" (New York Times), and contains:

His voyages of discovery through Latin America

The meeting with Fidel Castro, when an instantaneous friendship was born

His travels around the world as Cuba's ambassador, sent by Castro to meet Krushchev, Nasser, Nehru, Tito, Mao...

His days as victorious leader of guerrilla warfare and a cold-blooded revolutionary

His various disguises worthy of a Hollywood thriller

The disastrous episode in the Congo

Film footage of his tragic end in Bolivia at the age of 39
