Based on the diaries of Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara, this is the story of two Argentinean friends who travel across South America on the back of a rickety motorcycle. It is a thrilling and inspirational journey that traces the origins of the revolutionary ‘Che’. Their trip encompasses the diverse peoples and landscapes of Latin America from the mystical ruins of Machu Picchu to the leper colony deep in the Peruvian Amazon. This visually stunning film won awards at Cannes and a BAFTA for Best Foreign Language Film.
