ArchívumSemillas de (Seeds of) Ñacahuasú, a new miniseries of documentaries investigating the lives of 20 Bolivian guerrillas that died fighting alongside Ernesto Che Guevara in their country, premiered in the vice presidency of Bolivia on Wednesday.
More than 100 people attended the ceremony, where the first two parts of a 21 part series were publicly screened.
Cuban director Froilan Gonzalez said the idea is to look into who the men were, where they came from, and why they fought.
Understanding the past, he said, is critical to confronting the future. “It is very important to rescue this historical memory, because revolution and change do not simply arise out of nowhere, they come from an accumulative process that we must not forget or become unaware of, because he who is not familiar with his history does not have his feet sufficiently planted on the ground to be able to face the present and much less the future.”
The first guerrilla explored in the series is Apolinar Aquino Quispe, a guerrilla who died fighting the CIA-backed Bolivian army in August 1967, just weeks before Che himself would be illegally executed.
His granddaughter attended the film series premier, and she says the documentaries help to inspire younger generations to continue struggling for the same ideals.
“We used to have to fight with weapons, blood, and death. Now, we the youth, those who share this ideology, we can do it with our way of thinking and with our own actions,” she said.
This October 9 will mark the 47th anniversary of the death of revolutionary Che Guevara in Bolivia.
