El Che: Investigating a Legend
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 documentary examines the myth of the "most idolized revolutionary of the 20th century" (New York Times) and focuses on many key events in his life including; his voyages of self discovery through Latin America, the meeting with Fidel Castro when an instantaneous friendship was born, and his days as victorious leader of guerilla warfare and a cold-blooded revolutionary.
