Fwd: Help

Dear H-Film Colleagues,
As you will see below, a colleague of mine at Willamette is trying to find
a Spanish-language screenplay of *The Motorcycle  Diaries*; she sought help
from one of our reference librarians, who struck out and send the message
on to me.  In my experience, it is often very difficult to find published
scripts of films, but this reaches into an area with which I have limited
familiarity.  Does anyone on the list have any ideas for how Maria might be
able to get her hands on this film script?

I'm looking for the screenplay of the movie "The Motorcycle Diaries" in
Spanish.
The author is Jose Rivera.

I have found it in English, but not the original in Spanish.

Can you help?

Thank you
