Director Steven Soderbergh's two-part epic about the life of Ernesto "Che" Guevara stars Benicio Del Toro (Best Actor, 2008 Cannes Film Festival) in a tour de force performance as the legendary revolutionary.

Director Steven Soderbergh's two-part epic about the life of Ernesto "Che" Guevara stars Benicio Del Toro (Best Actor, 2008 Cannes Film Festival) in a tour de force performance as the legendary revolutionary. Part One shows how Che proved to be an indispensible fighter, along with Fidel Castro, in the overthrow of the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. As he throws himself into the struggle, Che is embraced by his comrades and the Cuban people. Che rises to prominence in the Cuban Revolution, from doctor to commander to revolutionary hero.

Part Two shows Che at the height of his fame and power. Then he disappears, re-emerging incognito in Bolivia, where he organizes a small group of Cuban comrades and Bolivian recruits to start the great Latin American Revolution. The story of the Bolivian campaign is a tale of tenacity, sacrifice, idealism, and of guerrilla warfare that ultimately fails, bringing Che to his death. Through this story, we come to understand how Che remains a symbol of idealism and heroism that lives in the hearts of people around the world.

This documentary follows the Check It gang, a gang of gay and transgender black youths who live in the roughest neighborhoods of Washington D.C.

There is an unusual phenomenon occurring in the skies above America and around the world that is being ignored by the mainstream media. People across the country are experiencing more asthma, headaches, colds and more are noticing planes crossing back and forth in the sky leaving in their wake a trail of vapor that does not evaporate. The mysterious unmarked planes leave smoke-like trails behind them that spread until by the afternoon they have blossomed and grown until the skies have become overcast. Officials from the Air Traffic Control, the EPA and the Air Force will not respond to questions regarding this phenomenon. This film takes you into the possible reasons and adverse reactions to what is seemingly a massive top-secret world wide program of chemical spraying. After you have seen the evidence and heard the testimony of the experts, you will have to ask yourself and your elected representatives what is really going on in the not so friendly skies. Become familiar with Rep Dennis Kucinich's HR2977 regarding chemtrails.
