Che Guevara (2005) disrupts Anglo-centric historical narratives by focusing on Latin American liberation. The film's emphasis on anti-imperialism and the struggle against established power dynamics provides a strong platform for non-Western ability to act and cultural critique. However, the film follows a traditional biographical structure that limits its depth in representing diverse identities. The narrative focuses heavily on the male protagonist's journey, which may sideline female characters to supporting roles within his personal history. Ultimately, while the film excels in racial and cultural representation by challenging Western-centric hegemony, it lacks visible engagement with LGBTQ+ identities or disability representation.
