One of history's most enigmatic figures gets a sharp, intriguing examination here, in an exploration of the final hours before his death in the Bolivian village of La Higuera. In life, Che Guevara was a poster boy for revolution, having abandoned a career in medicine to join Fidel Castro's revolutionary "26th of July" movement, which seized power in Cuba in 1959, deposing the dictator Batista and, in the following decade, joining revolutions in Congo-Kinshasa and Bolivia. Described alternately as "the most complete human being of our age" and a "sociopathic thug", Guevara was transformed in death into a demigod revolutionary, his reputation and mystique enhanced by the disappearance (and subsequent return) of his body.

This program, from Italian filmmaker Raffaele Brunetti, is packaged in a fairly straightforward manner, blending interviews and archival film. Whether it achieves its aim is difficult to say. It says little about Guevara that students of his life and work would not know and it rarely opens a window for the viewer with little more than a passing interest in Guevara's place in history.

The program is, perhaps, greater than the sum of its parts - revisiting some of the key locations, interspersed with clips from Guevara's life and observations from a handful of the important figures in his life.
