Face to Face
Castro vs. Guevara
S3 E4:
Che Guevara, the radical thinker, and Fidel Castro, the political animal... could they ever share the image of the liberating saviour of Latin America? Did Che Guevara, the diehard combatant, set off towards certain death in Bolivia? Or did the manipulative Fidel Castro progressively abandon his increasingly dangerous brotherinarms in order to maintain his own authority? From the birth of a revolutionary friendship in Mexico to the exploitation of an iconic image in Havana, this duel is a fascinating game of chess, where lies and manipulation and internecine power struggles completely changed the rules of the game.
