ABSTRACT
For generations, Latin American revolutionaries have attracted the attention and admiration of Northern leftists of all kinds. From the time of Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa to the times of Ernesto Che Guevara and Subcomandante Marcos, revolutionaries from south of the Rio Grande have stimulated the imagination and creativity of film producers, musicians, journalists, authors and political activists all over the world. Revolutionary movements, in fact, see influencing Northern media and journalism as integral parts of their strategies.
