Terry, a social-climbing young woman accidentally gets caught up in the activities of two revolutionaries, Blossom and Django, and finds herself in a concentration camp for women. In the center of the camp is a towering wooden machine ("The Big Bird Cage") in which the women risk their lives processing sugar as the evil warden looks on. The prisoners are subjected to sadistic cruelty from the guards and fellow prisoners, and all attempts at escape are dealt with…permanently. Terry's only hope for escape lies in Blossom and her revolutionary allies.

When the Mountains Tremble is an incredible documentary. It bravely uncovers the role of the United States in facilitating military rule in Guatemala for its own trade purposes. Liberal capitalism and free trade promoted by the United States led to the dispossession of local populations and their exploitation. The film contains footage from both Guatemalan and US television including the statement of former President Ronald Reagan before Congress in which he calls on businesses to "be bold and spread American enterprise throughout the hemisphere". Beyond US responsibility in providing finance and weapons to the Guatemalan military, the film also looks at the complicity of religious organizations in the massacre. Following repression of some priests within the Catholic Church, evangelical groups from the US begin to take their place.
