9/10
Focuses on individual recollection and leaves off most the stuff we already know

Waco it's definitely one of the biggest American tragedies, however it's not something I've really studied like the Holocaust. I remember the news footage at the time it happened and how there was so much debate about how the fire started. But they do now show aerial footage of three different fires starting all at the same time, which seems unlikely to have been done by the Davidians. For me this confirmed what I felt back then, that the FBI was trying to smoke them out and ended up burning over 80 people to death. This documentary or whatever you want to call it shows that the different branches of government who were trying to control or work this situation we're not communicating. I cried when I realized what truly happened that day. I think that the FBI wanted to make an example because they felt that Koresh was one of those crazy anti-government groups. I mean honestly they're trying to do that now through the media pretending that the only people who support Republicans nowadays are crazy anti-government people and that's just not true but that's another story I guess. The thing that strikes me the most is that the FBI seem to have convicted him for all these other things and use them to justify the things they did during the siege when really he hadn't been convicted of anything yet and has never been proven to this day. I feel so much compassion for the little girl who is now a grown woman and has no family. I hope that she finds peace.
