Part two of Stephen Soderbergh's chronicle of the revolutionary activities of Ernesto "Che" Guevara examines Guevara's attempts to start a revolutionary guerrilla movement in the jungles of Bolivia. Beginning with his arrival in Bolivia under a false identity, the film traces the factors which result in ultimate failure, as well Guevara's untimely demise. Efforts to attract the support of Bolivian peasantry ultimately fail as Che's band is unable to convince the peasants that supporting them is in their best interests. The insurgency effort becomes more and more desperate as the Bolivian military, with the support of the United States, steadily gains the upper hand in its attempts to quell the rebellion.
