Review

decent, but long, documentary about the waco showdown and aftermath. most of the documentary draws on testimony before some senate committee. various experts, witnesses, atf/fbi agents, and ex-davidians are interviewed and this all leads to one giant mess. we get the idea that the fbi and atf fucked up majorly and over-stepped their bounds, but whether or not they had devious intent or not remains a mystery. how crazy a cult the davidians were and how much of a role they played in starting or fueling the whole disaster is also up for debate.
