Street Battle: In a section of my book, The Idea of Cuba, I photographed the landscape of Havana as seen through the windshields of aging North American cars. On the set of CHE, I was fascinated to see these 50s era cars put to another more military use. Here UNAX UGALDE fires his rifle. UGALDE plays Little Cowboy, with NORMAN SANTIAGO (Tuma) kneeling beside him. These guerillas are battling Batista’s forces who are holed up in their garrison on the other side of the square. In real life, Little Cowboy is a legendary figure of the Cuban revolution, one of the youngest and bravest volunteers to join Che’s army.
