"THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES"

Landmark Century Cinema, 2828 N. Clark, Chicago

Director Walter Salles in Attendance!

In 1952, two young Argentines, Ernesto Guevara and Alberto Granado, set out on a road trip to discover the real Latin America. Ernesto is a 23-year-old medical student specializing in leprology, and Alberto, 29, is a biochemist. The film follows the young men as they unveil the rich and complex human and social topography of the Latin American continent.  With a highly romantic sense of adventure, the two friends leave their familiar surroundings in Buenos Aires on a rickety 1939 Norton 500. Although the bike breaks down in the course of their eight-month journey, they press onward, hitching rides along the way. As they begin to see a different Latin America in the people they meet on the road, the diverse geography they encounter begins to reflect their own shifting perspectives.  Based on the journals of both Alberto Granado and the man who would later become “El Che,” The Motorcycle Diaries follows a journey of self-discovery, tracing the origins of a revolutionary heart.
