Chevolution

Synopsis
In 1960, Cuban photographer Alberto ‘Korda’ Diaz captured a photo of Che Guevara during a mass funeral. History conspired to enable this dynamic portrait to explode on the world scene where it became an international symbol of protest and dissent. CHEVOLUTION is a film about this photograph. It explores how the Che image travelled from Korda’s studio in Havana to the streets of Europe and beyond and how this portrait, with its enigmatic gaze, became a symbol for countless visions for change.
