What Waco: The Rules of Engagement Is About
In 1993 the compound of the Branch Davidian community in Texas was first raided by the ATF and then besieged for fifty-one days. On 19 April the compound burned and a great many people inside, children among them, died. The documentary uses congressional hearings, the FBI's own audio recordings and thermal imaging footage to reconstruct how events reached that point, and criticises the conduct of the federal agencies severely. William Gazecki's film was nominated for an Academy Award. Its claim, based on the thermal footage, that agents fired into the building has remained contested: the Danforth report, published in 2000 after a fourteen-month investigation, concluded that government forces did not fire and did not start the fire.
