A post to mark the death, on March 5, of Alberto Granado. In 1952, Granado and Che Guevara took a motorcycle trip across Latin America which lead to Guevara's political awakening, and the rest, as they say, is history. More information about Granado in the Washington Post's obituary.
In 2004, the motorcycle trip was recreated in the film The Motorcycle Dairies, with Gael García Bernal portraying Guevara, and Rodrigo De la Serna as Alberto Granado. Here is the trailer for that film.
