Go Behind-The-Scenes Of The Che Movie

The life of iconic and super controversial revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara finally comes to life...

Thanks to the perseverance of Oscar winning actor Benicio Del Toro. The Boricua co-produced and starred in Che, the two-part biopic that has been a labor of love for the last seven years. The film chronicles his rise up to revolutionary icon from Argentina to fighting along side Fidel Castro. The script manages to unveil the mythical depictions of these historical figures by using a humanistic lense that doesn't fade-out until the very end.

MTV News caught-up with Benicio to talk about why Che (both film and the person) is still so relevant today. Check out what he and actor Rodrigo Santoro (Raul Castro) had to say in the video below. Not into history? Rodrigo and Benecio will change your mind. Watch the clip!
