Reviews

"A journey, a number of journeys. Ernesto Guevara in search of adventure, Ernesto Guevara in search of America, Ernesto Guevara in search of Che. On this journey of journeys, solitude found solidarity, 'I' turned into 'we'." - Eduardo Galeano. "If the film reaches a younger audience, I hope it will inspire people to read The Motorcycle Diaries." - Walter Salles, film director
