Waco: A New Revelation is the film
that triggered a new Congressional investigation of the Waco tragedy, and caused
the Justice Department and the FBI to reverse their long-held positions on Waco.
It has generated a firestorm of events unprecedented in the history of
documentary filmmaking. After six years of painstaking investigation, the
complete story of the tragedy in Texas is finally coming to light. This
compelling feature-length documentary presents new revelations about the events
that led up to the deaths of 79 men, women and children at Mount Carmel on April
19, 1993. In the spring of 1998, under the Freedom of Information Act,
investigators from MGA Studio's film division became the first private citizens
to gain access to the Waco investigation evidence lockers. What they found was
shocking. Upon examination, the evidence gathered under the supervision of
federal officials appeared to contradict the FBI's congressional testimony,
raising serious and disturbing questions about events surrounding the siege at
Mt. Carmel and the deaths of the Davidians. Gene CullenSince 1993, former
members of the FBI, former Special Forces and CIA operatives have come forward
with new evidence to suggest that the FBI's claim is inaccurate.
