Che: Part One (DVD)

First instalment of Steven Soderbergh's political drama starring Benicio del Toro as iconic revolutionary Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, based on the memoirs of Guevara. The film follows events in late 1950s Cuba, when Che and a band of Cuban exiles led by Fidel Castro (Demian Bichir) set out for Cuba from Mexico and, over the next two years, mobilise an army in order to topple the US-supported dictatorship of Fulgenzio Batista. The second part, which is subtitled 'The Guerilla', is also based on the memoirs of Guevara.
