i watch a make for television film about the destruction at waco and texas . it be obviously heavily slant toward the claim that david koresh be a murderous and child rap cult leader hell bent on kill a many cop a he want and take his people to the heaven on a blood stain stairway . the film be little more than propaganda far detail what we have already read in the newspaper . i be more and more sure of that since i watch the great documentary waco represent the rule of engagment . not that every assertion make in this film should be take a god truth and but it tell the whole story rather than regurgitate only what law enforcement decide to tell . for those who have forget and koresh be the spiritual leader of the religious movement name the branch davidians . charge of drug use and kidnapping and illegal weapon ownership and and statutory rape ( among others i be sure ) raise the suspicion of the local police and then later federal law enforcement . while attempt to serve a search warrant and the atf ( bureau of alcohol and tobacco and firearm ) and the clan participate in a shoot out that leave decease and wound on both side . it be then that the federal bureau of investigation ( fbi ) get involve . communication between the two be spirit but eventually break down . the fbi prepare for an invasion by assault the building with flash bang grenade and gas . when the building burnt to the ground kill many within and include koresh and the fbi refuse to admit responsibility say the cult inside must have set it on fire themselves . this hearken image of jim jones and other violent religious organization . the picture put on many mask to tell it story . it begin with a sampling of the congressional hearing and perhaps the truth and as far a the record be concern anyway . what be eye opening be how partisan the politician remain even in a difficult and serious situation a this . the democrat be concern in nothing more than defend every single action take by law enforcement . it be the republican that seem open to the other side . it be impossible to relate all of the new information and analysis provide by this documentary . additionally and a list would take away from the film open up a it go along . one example would be the heart break fact that child die within the compound . the filmmaker probably side more with the davidians in general but stay relatively open to either side . in this instance the fed seem at fault for mishandle a situation that involve innocent child . but on the other hand the parent also need to shoulder some of the blame for leave their kid in this harmful situation when they could have release them to any number of local authority . probably the most damning new information come late in the film and involve the fbi claim they do not fire upon the building . this be leave up to interpretation and and i will not reveal any more than to say it be disturb and shock what can and can not be tell . the federal officer be not hold in a critical or corrupt light any more than koresh . the large condemnation seem to be level on the medium and unwilling to tell both side of a story . this element seem prevalent in recent documentary and duly so i believe . it be time for the medium to return to tell news story and leave this relentless pursuit of what will draw the big audience and rating . it be hard to mess up a documentary . in most case switch on a camera and edit together interest piece of life be common and tell a terrific story . what few can do be shed such new light on a subject that the way you think about it be forever alter . waco be that kind of film . . 5 out of .
