Che Lives! (image: Che Guevara)

Che Lives!

Tuesday 17 June
2233 - 2330

To mark what would have been Che Guevara's 80th birthday, artists, actors and authors explore the impact of the man and the myth.

Che's iconic image can be seen today on everything from t-shirts to ashtrays, but why is he still so potent and why has his photograph become the most reproduced single image in history?

Contributors including Sir Alan Parker, Sir Tim Rice, Steven Soderbergh, Benicio del Toro and Ricky Gervais discuss why, in the 40 years since his death, Che has represented different things to different people.
