THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
Purchase VHS/DVD
One of the most disturbing films you'll ever see, this low-key documentary methodically and convincingly makes the case that the government -- not David Koresh -- caused the fatal fire at the Branch Davidian compound in April 1993. Using interviews, news footage, testimony before Congress, and infrared photographic analysis, the film relentlessly chips away at the government's story that David Koresh and his followers were a dangerous cult involved in strange sex and drug practices who were preparing to slaughter their neighbors and that they immolated themselves la Jonestown, rather than give themselves up peacefully. Nearly every element of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms' and the FBI's cover-up is exposed as fraudulent and the viewer is left wondering when, if ever, justice will finally be served.
