Steven Soderbergh’s CHE stars Benicio Del Toro as Che Guevara, one of the important figures in the growing Cuban rebellion led by Fidel Castro (Demian Bichir). The over-four-hour film will be presented in two parts: The first part charts how the two successfully built an underground army large enough to successfully overthrow the government of Fulgencio Batista, the second part focuses on Che’s life in the years after the Cuban revolution.

Music Composed by Alberto Iglesias (The Kite Runner, Volver, The Constant Gardener)

Featuring the songs “Fusil Contra Fusil” performed by Silvio Rodriguez “Balderrama” performed by Mercedes Sosa

PART ONE: The Argentine On November 26, 1956, Fidel Castro sails to Cuba with eighty rebels. One of those rebels is Ernesto “Che” Guevara, an Argentine doctor who shares a common goal with Fidel Castro ? to overthrow the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.

Che proves indispensable as a fighter, and quickly grasps the art of guerrilla warfare. As he throws himself into the struggle, Che is embraced by his comrades and the Cuban people. This film tracks Che’s rise in the Cuban Revolution, from doctor to commander to revolutionary hero.

PART TWO: Guerilla

After the Cuban Revolution, Che is at the height of his fame and power. Then he disappears, re-emerging incognito in Bolivia, where he organizes a small group of Cuban comrades and Bolivian recruits to start the great Latin American Revolution.

The story of the Bolivian campaign is a tale of tenacity, sacrifice, idealism, and of guerrilla warfare that ultimately fails, bringing Che to his death. Through this story, we come to understand how Che remains a symbol of idealism and heroism that lives in the hearts of people around the world.

Academy Award nominee Alberto Iglesias (The Kite Runner) provides the striking and powerful score for this epic saga.
