The Hands of Che Guevara

NEW DOCS

His image has sold t-shirts, tacos and bite-sized agitprop. With Che Guevara having already achieved iconographical status as a martyred revolutionary and a market-friendly signifier of coolness, The Hands of Che Guevara befits the intrigue and absurdity of his giant legacy. The ritual of collecting body parts is both amazing and grim, but it is just another way of celebrating a hero. The courage and commitment of some who risked their lives to preserve Che’s hands is the exciting subject of this beautifully shot film.  MAN
