In the Shadow of El Che
What has Che Guevara's legacy been in Cuba, and would he recognise the country that it has now become? The BBC's Cuba correspondent, Will Grant, reports from Havana.
In October 1967, the revolutionary icon "Che" Guevara, was shot by US backed forces in Bolivia. In Cuba he's widely celebrated as a hero of the revolution which brought communist government to the country. Some Cubans though, condemn "El Che" as ruthless and authoritarian, and responsible for summary justice and murder. So what is his legacy in Cuba, and would he recognise the country that it has now become? Will Grant reported from Havana on the 50th anniversary of Che Guevara's death in October.
