I've been trying to find some good biographies and documentries on Marx, Lenin, or Che but can't seem to find any. Does anyone have any ideas.

I'm not sure about documentaries but there are plenty of biographies about the three people you mention. You can read Jon Lee Anderson's excellent bio of Che. You have Francis Wheen's funny and veru human biography of Marx. As for Lenin, you could read a "political biography" of Lenin by Trotsky, or you could Robert Service's biography.

If you do find any documentaries, I would suggest you treat them with some suspicion. They tend to far from "balanced" when it comes to radical historical figures.
