Before Che became a poster, he was a 23-year-old med student on a broken-down motorcycle discovering his continent for the first time. This is the dispatch that made him. Not politics — people. Lepers in Peru, miners in Chile, the sick and the dispossessed everywhere he stopped. The road didn't make him a revolutionary. It made him unable to look away. That's where it starts — always with the looking.
