<P> During their expedition , Guevara and Granado encounter the poverty of the indigenous peasants , and the movie assumes a greater seriousness once the men gain a better sense of the disparity between the `` haves '' ( to which they belong ) and the obviously exploited `` have - nots '' ( who make up the majority of those they encounter ) by traveling on foot . In Chile , for instance , they encounter a penniless and persecuted couple forced onto the road because of their communist beliefs . In a fire - lit scene , Guevara and Granado ashamedly admit to the couple that they are not out looking for work as well . The duo then accompanies the couple to the Chuquicamata copper mine , where Guevara becomes angry at the treatment of the workers . </P>
