História

Hồ Chí Minh (19 May 1890 – 2 September 1969) was a Vietnamese revolutionary and politician. He served as Prime Minister of North Vietnam from 1945 to 1955 and President from 1945 until his death in 1969. Ideologically a Marxist–Leninist, he served as Chairman and First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Vietnam. Hồ Chí Minh led the Việt Minh independence movement from 1941 onward, establishing the Communist-ruled Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 and defeating the French Union in 1954 at the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ, ending the First Indochina War. He was a key figure in the People's Army of Vietnam and the Việt Cộng during the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975. The Democratic Republic of Vietnam was victorious against the Republic of Vietnam and its allies, and was officially reunified with the Republic of South Vietnam in 1976. Ho officially stepped down from power in 1965 due to health problems, and died in 1969. Aside from being a politician, Ho was also a writer, a poet and a journalist. He wrote several books, articles and poems in French, Chinese and Vietnamese.

Ernesto Che Guevara - Uomo, Compagno, Amico
Ernesto Che Guevara foi um dos protagonistas da história do século XX. Passados décadas de sua morte, ele continua mais vivo do que nunca no imaginário coletivo e nas lendas da América Latina, como a esperança de libertação para todos os povos oprimidos do mundo. Utilizando raras imagens de arquivo, incluindo todo o material disponível no acervo estatal de Cuba, Ernesto Che Guevara é um excelente filme histórico que acompanha todas as etapas da vida desse grande mito: da sua juventude na Argentina à sua trágica morte no interior da Bolívia, passando por sua legendária campanha como revolucionário. Além disso, muitos aspectos de sua vida pessoal são revelados. A trilha do filme é composta de um belíssimo cancioneiro de músicas latinas e internacionais, dedicadas a Che.
