Based on the journals of Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary and Cuban guerrilla leader Che Guevara, which were written during a journey, with his best friend on a motorcycle, through South America in the 1950s. The film recounts how the trip exposed both men to the grinding poverty, dreadful working conditions, and class distinctions of South American societies, and convinced them that revolution was the only way to egalitarian prosperity. With Gael Garcia Bernal, Rodrigo de la Serna, Mia Maestro, Mercedes Moran and Susana Lanteri. Directed by Walter Salles [2:08]
