This controversial documentary carries shocking revelations behind the tragic series of events in Waco, Texas, which resulted in the death of four federal agents and 76 men, women and children of the Branch Davidian religious sect.
Amongst the allegations made in the film are that government agencies firstly provoked war with a group whose apocalyptic religious beliefs and rumored manufacturing of illegal weapons made them easy targets and secondly they methodically covered up up any evidence that the government were culpable for the deaths that ensued.
