Customer Reviews of El Che: Investigating A Legend

Che Speaks! Rare black & white footage, some with audio.
Very informative, if sometimes simplistic, documentary charting Che's political life. Lots of home movies courtesy of Che's father,excellent news footage from the revolution and rare video/audio footage of some of Che's speaches. Lacks an indepth look at the Congo campaign but makes up for it in the film's overall quality. The personal look at Che is a little one dimensional but as a video introduction to this icon of the sixties the film works well.

a damn good biography
contrary to the person that wrote "the narrator's voice was too dramatic"it is perfect.i do wish that they would have shown all of che's un speech,but what the hell.NOW one thing that i found very interesting,is mr.richard alarcon aka benigno.this guy portray's himself like if he was che's brother.i had the chance of getting my hands on a documentary on che imported from cuba.unfortunately its all in spanish with no subtitles.its called entre leyendas.this documentary is a joke.this shows the only three survivors from the bolivian campaign talking about che.of course this interview was filmed in cuba.pombo,tamayo,and none other than,guess who?richard alarcon(benigno).this guy tells one story in the cuban documentary,then in investigating a legend,in exile of course,he tells a totally different story about the final battle.either way this documentary is awesome.take what benigno says with a grain of salt because he is full of crap.other than that this film is very informative.remember che left cuba because he didnt want any part of what castro and the soviet union were doing to the island that he(being from argentina)helped,in his mind to liberate............HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE,PATRIA O MUERTE!!! (dvd edition)

El Che Vive
This DVD contains a fairly detailed account (for a film) of the life of Che Guevara, it follows him from his Argentine birthplace to his eventual death in Bolivia. It also contains many interviews from people who either knew Che personally or had even fought against him. In once instance there is even an old interview with a CIA agent in Bolivia as they are tracking down Che. If you want to learn about Che Guevara but for some reason do not have the time, or do not want to put forth the effort, to read his biography, then this DVD is the perfect alternative. The film is also great if you have already read one of his biographies and are looking for an audio/visual companion.

In addition to Che's biography, the viewer is also treated to a short film about a man who takes a similar Motorcycle trip as Che did. He follows the exact same path and tries to see what Che saw. Of course many of what Che saw on his trip was missing at the time of the filming, but the viewer can get and idea of what the Argentina/Chile portion of the trip was like for him.
