Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • There is a lot of footage, both FLIR night-vision and regular footage, of the raid on the Branch Davidian home and the devastating fire. The ordinary film footage of a gunfight and fire in which people are known to die can be very disturbing. The FLIR flotage shows people as glowing outlines, but it is very clearn that some of them are killed on-camera. The tapes of 911 calls are intense.

Spoilers

Violence & Gore

  • A discussion near the end of what cyanide does to the human body is disturbing, as the charred corpse of a child is shown while this is covered. It's curled up in a fetal position, as we hear that cyanide can cause the body to break its own bones.
