When the mountains tremble.
Was shot at the height of a heated battle between the heavily-armed Guatemalan Military and a nearly defenseless Mayan population, filmmakers Pamela Yates and Newton Thomas Sigel threw themselves into the center of a storm to capture live combat footage with a surprisingly robust passion and exhilarating flair. As the first film to depict this previously unreported war, it is firmly anchored by the firsthand accounts of Rigoberta Menchú, a Quiché Indian woman known around the world for her humanitarian efforts. Throughout the imminent chaos and danger, Menchú provides courage and optimism in a time where death squads kill without conscience and an oppressive dictator seizes power. Updated after Menchú was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, this DVD includes a compelling filmmaker commentary as well as a never-before-seen forward from Susan Sarandon and an illuminating epilogue reflecting on the country's events a decade later.
