Synopsis

The Motorcycle Diaries, which world-premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, follows a journey of self-discovery and traces the youthful origins of a revolutionary heart.

The film, directed by Walter Salles (Central Station, Behind the Sun), is adapted by José Rivera from the journals of two real-life young Argentines, Alberto Granado and Ernesto Guevara de la Serna - the latter of whom would become "El Che."
