Peter kinoy biography
Centered on the experiences of Nobel Peace Laureate Rigoberta Menchú, a Maya K’iche indigenous leader, the film knits a variety of forms — interviews, direct address, re-enactment, video transmission, and on the spot footage shot at great hazard — into a wide-ranging and remarkable cohesive epic canvas of the Guatemalan struggle.
When the Mountains Tremble won the Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 1984. It was released theatrically in 40 U.S. cities and 30 foreign countries, and was updated and re-released
