Topic: Media Complicity

A memorial song titled "Seventeen Little Children" plays, mourning the children who died in the Waco fire. The lyrics directly challenge Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, calling for Reno's resignation and accusing the media—specifically the New York Times—of being an accomplice to the crimes at Mount Carmel.

The narrative accuses the mainstream media of being an accomplice to the crimes at Waco through deceitful reporting, leading some to cancel their newspaper subscriptions and sell their televisions. On-site at Mount Carmel, volunteers like Steve Wayne work to cut steel for the new church structure. The atmosphere is one of active resistance and community cooperation as the building begins to take shape despite the heat.
