FBI came in after BATF crewed it up- Do not believe what the media TELLS you to believe! Get this video: "Waco: The Rules of Engagement" at waco93.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 10, 1998 "Waco" Film Nominated: Best Documentary Oscar Academy Award Nod Shows Mainstream Fear about Fed's Dirty Deeds The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has nominated WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT for BEST DOCUMENTARY. WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT is a shocking film which says that the FBI machine-gunned Branch Davidians at Waco. Texas and committed numerous other rights violations there. The nomination caps a long list of honors by widely-respected observers indicating that distrust of the federal government is no longer confined to right-wing extremists, but is firmly rooted in Middle America. After an explosive world premiere at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival, and earning "two thumbs up" from Siskel & Ebert, the film was named one of the year's best films in The Los Angeles Times, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, L.A. Weekly and the St. Paul Pioneer Press. WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT is the first full-length documentary film to present the complete picture of the tragic series of events outside Waco, Texas that resulted in the shooting of four federal agents and the gassing and fiery deaths of 76 men, women, and children in 1993. The film raises serious doubts about the FBI's version of the story. In light of the national interest focus on the Oklahoma City bombing trials, the film provides America something it truly needs--an opportunity to review the historical record of events at Waco. Just prior to beginning its 40-city international tour, the film stunned hundreds in New York City where it was selected to be the lead film at The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival at Lincoln Center. It was also chosen as one of four films to be part of the Festival's World Tour that stopped in Los Angeles and was shown to a packed house at The Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance. The BBC has acquired the rights to broadcast the film on television throughout the United Kingdom. Roger Ebert suggested that a Pulitzer for film be created to applaud works like WACO: THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT. Winner of the prestigious 1997 International Documentary Association's Distinguished Documentary Achievement Award Other awards: Atlanta Film Festival Audience Award, Charleston International Film Festival Gold Medal, and the WorldFest Houston Special Jury Award.
