Che Rise and FallChe Rise and Fall

Che Rise and Fall is a documentary film created by Eduardo Montes-Bradley. Che: Rise and Fall, was entirely shot in Cuba at the time the remains of Che Guevara were airlifted from Bolivia to his final resting place in Santa Clara, Cuba. The documentary brings out the testimonies of his brothers in arms in Sierra Maestra, Congo and Bolivia, also Alberto Granados with whom Guevara rode on a motorcycle out of Argentina on a trip that will end, tragically, sixteen years later in the jungles of Bolivia."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 this hour-long documentary, Montes-Bradley provides a concise biographical overview of Che's life, keeping his eye on both his'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."
