Film-collage sobre las utopías de fin de siglo, mediante el recurso de utilizar la figura y símbolo del mítico líder Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara como motor de la pregunta por las utopías de hoy. Con motivo del 30 aniversario de la muerte del Che Guevara, Birri viajó, cámara en mano, por varios países tras las huellas de este legendario personaje. Esta fecha es propicia para reflexionar sobre el mito y el hombre. Pero, sobre todo, es un pretexto para preguntarse sobre la vigencia y el significado de la utopía.
Um filme-colagem sobre as utopias do fim do século, ultilizando a figura do lendário líder Ernesto 'Che' Guevara para nos perguntarmos quais são as utopias de hoje. Para marcar o 30º aniversário da morte de Che Guevara, Birri viajou por vários países de câmera na mão, seguindo as pegadas do lendário personagem. Esta data é propícia para refletirmos sobre o mito eo homem. E, acima de tudo, é um pretexto para questionarmos a validade e o significado da utopia.
A film-collage about utopias of the end of the century, using the figure of the legendary leader Ernesto 'Che' Guevara to ask ourselves what are the utopias of today. To mark the 30th anniversary of the death of Che Guevara, Birri toured several countries, camera in hand, following in the footsteps of the legendary character. This date is appropriate to reflect on the myth and the man. And above all, it is a pretext to question the validity and meaning of utopia.

In which John Green teaches you how Russia evolved from a loose amalgamation of medieval principalities known as the Kievan Rus into the thriving democracy we know today. As you can imagine, there were a few bumps along the road. It turns out, our old friends the Mongols had quite a lot to do with unifying Russia. In yet another example of how surprisingly organized nomadic raiders can be, the Mongols brought the Kievan Rus together under a single leadership, and concentrated power in Moscow. This set the stage for the various Ivans (the Great and the Terrible) to throw off the yoke and form a pan-Russian nation ruled by an autocratic leader. More than 500 years later, we still have autocratic leadership in Russia. All this, plus a rundown of some of our favorite atrocities of Ivan the Terrible, and a visit from Putin!

Ideas like liberty, freedom, and self-determination were hot stuff in the late 18th century, as evidenced by our recent revolutionary videos. Although freedom was breaking out all over, many of the societies that were touting these ideas relied on slave labor. Few places in the world relied so heavily on slave labor as Saint-Domingue, France's most profitable colony. Slaves made up nearly 90% of Saint-Domingue's population, and in 1789 they couldn't help but hear about the revolution underway in France. All the talk of liberty, equality, and fraternity sounds pretty good to a person in bondage, and so the slaves rebelled. This led to not one but two revolutions, and ended up with France, the rebels, Britain, and Spain all fighting in the territory. Spoiler alert: the slaves won. So how did the slaves of what would become Haiti throw off the yoke of one of the world's great empires? John Green tells how they did it, and what it has meant in Haiti and in the rest of the world.

Before the world heard of Osama bin Laden, there was Ayatollah Khomeini--at the time, the most radical Muslim leader of the 20th century, who challenged the world's ''infidels'' in the name of Allah. With the takeover of the US Embassy in Tehran, Iran and the capture of 52 hostages, Khomeini and his followers launched a murderous Islamic revolution. In time, his inspiration would lead to coups, terrorist bombings, hijackings, and assaults against a demonized West. For some faithful Muslims, his rise became the inspiration for political rebirth.
