Before the face depicted on the posters, there is an Argentine medical student traveling across the continent. The story of Ernesto Che Guevara follows the transition from that experience to the choice of revolutionary struggle, with its political and human consequences.
From Rosario and Alta Gracia, we arrive in Guatemala and his meeting with Fidel Castro in Mexico. Then the Granma, the Sierra Maestra, and Santa Clara, his assignments in the Cuban government, and his expeditions to Congo and Bolivia. The journey ends in 1967: a biography to be placed within the conflicts of its time, beyond the image that became a symbol.
To understand this story, let's begin with the journeys and decisions that preceded the most famous photograph.
