Che Guevara: The Last Companions

Following the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, six guerrilla fighters followed Che Guevara in his attempt to extend the uprising beyond the island. In 1967, following their final battle in Bolivia and Che’s execution, these warriors in the shadows embarked on an extraordinary 2,400 km journey across Bolivia, pursued by 4,000 soldiers in enemy territory, in the hope of reaching Cuba.

Sixty years later, Che’s last surviving comrades recount this untold story, one of endurance and loyalty, in which individual destinies were shaped by the major geopolitical currents of the Cold War. Combining rare archive footage, animations and exclusive interviews, the film brings a forgotten chapter of history back to life.
