Che: El Argentino - Steven Soderbergh


I recommend you watch this biopic movie, Che: El Argentino, directed by Steven Soderbergh. It's about the Cuban Revolution, Che's role in it as a medic eventually promoted to Commandante, how the revolution shaped and solidified his view against economic imperialism and how he got his training to be a guerrilla warrior.

Che fought for social and economic injustices in Cuba along with Fidel Castro and the 26th of July Movement to overthrow the US-recognized dictator Fulgencio Batista and the US businesses that were exploiting the land, it's people and it's resources to benefit the US.

This movie really inspired me to be a man of integrity, to keep firmly to my convictions, to live my life with purpose, to live according to what I believe and to never conform to anything I don't believe is right.

This movie is mostly Spanish with English subtitles and is one of two parts, the other being Che:Guerrilla, both running for approx. two hours.
