The 20th Anniversary Special Edition of <I>When the Mountains Tremble</I> remains as startling and sad as it was when first released. Though promoted as "the astonishing story" of Nobel Peace Prize winner and Quiche Indian Rigoberta Menchú, the documentary is actually more the story of the Guatemalan people at large, specifically the struggles of the poor and peaceful Indian population that came to be labeled "subversives" by a draconian government. <p> The film won several independent film awards, and earns its stead among other political truth-telling documentaries, including Michael Moore's <I>Fahrenheit 9/11</I>. The explanation of the role the Reagan administration played in providing money, arms and training to the corrupt Guatemalan government has relevance to countless other American interventions in foreign affairs. The filmmakers reveal both the complexities and the tragedies of the Guatemalan situation; scenes of Indians digging through massive garbage dumps for useful scraps are juxtaposed with those of government-sponsored beauty pageants in which Indians are proudly paraded in native costumes. Footage of breast-feeding Indians making camp in the jungle to avoid being found (and killed) is equally as compelling as the images from protests and brutalities that occurred in the cities.<p> When it comes to the DVD extras, skip the pointless introduction by Susan Sarandon, who delivers her canned speech unusually stiffly and wearing a schlumpy blue sweatshirt, and head straight for the audio commentary by filmmakers Pamela Yates and Newton Thomas Sigel and producer Peter Kinoy. Their insights, added in 2004, answer many of the lingering questions spawned by the two-decades-old film, including indigenous Guatemalan gains made (and lost) in the years since. <I>--Brangien Davis</I>

Reader Reviews
Es facil escribir comentarios basados en falsedades, cuando uno no es testigo directo de la historia sino solamente escucha y lee desde lejos y principalmente desde otro pais sin siquera conocer ni Guatemala ni a los Guatemaltecos. Rigoberta Menchu es parte de una historia falsa un mito marxista clasico, creada por Elizabeth Burgos una marxista comunista esposa de Regis Debray otro marxista comunista culpable de la muerte de muchos indigenas en Bolivia. Rigoberta Menchu fue una Guerrillera marxista Comunista y es tambien responsable de la muerte de muchos indigenas en Guatemala incluyendo su propia familia, todos los Guatemaltecos que vivimos en Guatemala lo sabemos. David Horowitz la desenmascara y tambien David Stoll la desenmascara totalmente en su libro "Rigoberta Menchu y la historia de todos los Guatemaltecos pobres", un estudio profundo de la familia Menchu. Muchos Guatemaltecos creemos tambien que Rigoberta Menchu no merece el premio novel de la PAZ pues fue una combatiente del ejercito guerrillero de los pobres, causante de asesinatos, secuestros, extorciones y destruccion de puentes, carreteras, municipalidades, e instalaciones electricas. Para luego decir que todo eso se hizo para liberar al pueblo ¿liberarlo de que? naturalmente de intervencion de los Estados Unidos, lo que no dicen es que en esa epoca la verdadera intervencion extrajera venia de la Union Sovietica y de Cuba que eran quienes entrenaban politica y militarmente a los guerrilleros Guatemaltecos y EXTRANJEROS (Cubanos, Mexicanos, Alemanes de Este, Canadienses, Centoamericanos, Etc,). Ademas estos paises apoyaron la intervencion extranjera economicamente, mientras la guerrilla aprendio a robar bancos y a extorcionar. Es facil montar una pelicula como "When the Mountains Tremble" en donde personas medio uniformadas aparentan ser El Ejercito de Guatemala y desgraciadamente los que no son guatemaltecos y desconocen nuestro pais talvez lo crean, pero para los que si vivimos en Guatemala y conocemos la realidad no se nos puede engañar. Esta pelicula esta hecha y diseñada para un publico que vive fuera de Guatemala por personas como Susan Sarandon que son de reconocida tendencia marxista comunista y que a pésar de ser ciudadanos Norteamericanos y de vivir en ese gran pais que son los Estados Unidos y de gozar de todas las ventajas que ofrece LA LIBERTAD no lo reconocen. Esa pelicula es una gran mentira.
