Ernesto Guevara in search of adventure, Ernesto Guevara in search of America, Ernesto Guevara in search of Che. On this journey, solitude found solidarity. 'I' turned into 'we'. --Eduardo Galeano \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs his journey progresses, Guevara's voice seems to deepen, to darken, colored by what he witnesses in his travels. He is still poetic, but now he comments on what he sees, though still poetically, with a new awareness of the social and political ramifications of what's going on around him. --January Magazine \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOur film is about a young man, Che, falling in love with a continent and finding his place in it. --Walter Salles, director of the film version of The Motorcycle Diaries \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll this wandering around Our America with a Capital A has changed me more than I thought. --Ernesto Che Guevara, from The Motorcycle Diaries\u003cbr\u003eThe Motorcycle Diaries is Che Guevara's diary of his journey to discover the continent of Latin America while still a medical student, setting out in 1952 on a vintage Norton motorcycle together with his friend Alberto Granado, a biochemist.
