Bamako

A poetic and deeply moving film that brings sharply into relief the effects of globalisation on Africa, as it imagines how the powers that be in the West might be forced to answer for the damage they’ve done in the Third World.

The Motorcycle Diaries

Based on the written memoir of the 23-year-old Ernesto Guevara, who later became internationally known as the iconic Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara, the film recounts the 1952 journey, initially by motorcycle, across South America by Guevara
and his friend, Alberto Granado. As youthful hedonism unfolds, Guevara discovers himself
transformed by his observations of the life of the impoverished indigenous peasantry.
