Numerous journalists have described with pointed accuracy the vast interwoven tapestry that was Communist revolutionary
Ernesto 'Che' Guevara's life - from his youth in Alta Gracia, to his tenure as a politician in post-1959 Havana, to his tragic execution in October 1967. With his hour-long Spanish-language documentary
Che: Rise and Fall,
Eduardo Montes-Bradley provides a concise biographical overview of
Che's life, keeping his eye on both
Guevara's life-journey and the nearly impenetrable mythos that developed around him and quickly became inseparable from the man himself. The work intercuts key archival clips with interviews featuring those who knew and worked with
Che, including
Dr. Alberto Granados and three surviving members of
Guevara's personal guard.
