The Motorcycle Diaries - 7

This is the story of the 24-year-old Ernesto Che Guevara de la Serna, who with a friend, Alberto Granado, takes a motorcycle trip from Argentina up the Chilean coast through Peru and Machu Picchu to Venezuela. In this process Che learns and starts to experience a fuller world, where injustice is a way of life for most people. The tagline is telling: Let the world change you... and you can change the world. This experience and the sights he sees along the way change his view of how the world works and how it should be different. It is an inspiring story of learning by being open to the world and by doing. At some point seeing and hearing the world will find its limits and one must learn how to act and speak into the world for positive change and responsible action. This film gives a good model of this.
