Chasing Che @ VME.

How are you changed by your travels and what footprints do you leave? For Ernesto Guevara, a legendary motorcycle trek across the back-roads of Latin America transformed a freewheeling youth into the controversial revolutionary the world came to know as “Che.”

Chasing Che, a ten-week series making its US premiere on V-me Tuesday, September 4 at 4:00pm(ET)/1:00pm(PT) gives viewers a fresh and entertaining perspective on travel and history.

More than 50 years after the journeys of Guevara and his friend, Alberto Granados, two young Latin Americans retrace their path. Over 13,000 kilometers through the same pampas, rivers and mountains, the adventurers begin a life-changing journey, following the route described in the book and film, The Motorcycle Diaries. As the two young riders compare the realities of present-day Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela to Che and Granado’s observations a new South America will be reveled. How far has it come and where is it headed?
