Diarios de motocicleta


The Motorcycle Diaries is based on a memoir following Ernest Guevara as he travels across South America starting when he was 23 years-old. His traveling companion is Alberto Granado, and they travel 500cc Norton motorcycle. During their travels, Guevara sees how many people live in poverty and realizes that he would have never been exposed to how people live in such conditions. He was born into a middle-class family with more opportunities. He has a grasp of Latin American identity and changes his name to Che Guevara. He becomes anti-authority and wishes to see a united Latin American and improve the lives of those that are impoverished and suffer injustice due to where they were born in society. He lives among a leper colony towards the end of his journey and he is eventually assassinated by the CIA in 1967 in Bolivia.
