Pages from FPA’s Global Film Review Blog

Pages from FPA’s Global Film Review BlogAs a great fan of films from Latin America and abroad, I would like to present to readers of the Latin America Blog one of our fellow bloggers, Sean Murphy of FPA’s Global Film Review Blog. Sean seeks to give interesting and concise reviews on his impressions of films from around the globe, and has been nice enough to point out three reviews of films related to Latin America to be linked to on this blog. The blog reviews can be found by clicking on the title of the films. The Motorcycle Diaries is a story about a young Ernesto “Che” Guevara taken from his journals at the time. Sean also wrote about two other films, a documentary called Che Guevara: Where You’d Never Imagine Him and La Sierra, a film about three young Colombians living outside of Medellin and how poverty and narcotics affects their lives.

I encourage everyone to check out Sean’s Global Film Review blog and check out these films as well. I personally hope to see some remarkable films about Latin America and the world via Sean’s advice and hope you will frequently check out his blog as well.
