We live a curious moment to attend the screening of "The Motorcycle Diaries" (2004), by the Brazilian director Walter Salles. The film seems like an invitation to take an abysmal leap through time, in order to reconnect with a Latin American ethic and solidarity that for some is already remote, while others celebrate it as a reality that is taking shape today in Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay and Venezuela. However, they would agree on the existence of an important gap between that project that crystallized in the 1960s, with the Cuban Revolution, and our current circumstance, marked by the Iraq war, the persistence of an infamous limbo called Guantánamo, and the disconcerting ratification of GW Bush in the presidency of the United States.
