Adams Joins The 'Chevolution'

While party colleague, Martin McGuinness may be holding down the high profile job as NI Deputy First Minister, Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams is about to trump that.
He is set to feature alongside big-time Hollywood stars Antonio Banderas and Gael Garcia Bernal in a new documentary-style film on the life of Che Guevara.
The film, entitled Chevolution, is being made by a friend of Mr Adams, Trisha Ziff, and will examine the life and times of the iconic Cuban revolutionary.
Mr Adams will feature in the movie as himself, talking about the impact of Che Guevara 40 years after his death and his iconic image.
Bernal - who played Che Guevara in the movie, The Motorcycle Diaries - and Banderas will also be speaking about how influential he was and what his image means to them.
The documentary is due to be premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York later this month - but Adams won't be there as it is understood Mr Adams has 'other commitments'.
A spokesman for the West Belfast MP said: "Gerry was one of a range of people interviewed for this documentary.
"The interview took place in London and he was asked when he first saw the iconic image of Che Guevara, what the image means to him, the impact on the conflict here and his lasting legacy 40 years on.
"Trisa Ziff is a highly respected documentary maker and photographer and Gerry was happy to take part," he added.
Ms Ziff's interest in Che Guevara prompted her decision to make the documentary, which includes archive footage of the revolutionary himself.
