Che: Part One 2008

1956. Latin America is abuzz with passion—both romantic and revolutionary. To overthrow the dictatorial regime of Fulgencio Batista, rebel leader Fidel Castro is assembling an army on the Cuban coast. Ernesto Guevara, a cardiologist from Argentina, joins the famous revolutionary unit “M-26-7.” In the fierce struggle for freedom, he wins the love of his comrades-in-arms and, soon after, that of the entire Cuban people, who gave him the new name “Che,” which means “friend” in Spanish.
