This movie which is based on a real family and their desire to uphold their religious beliefs clearly proves that we do not have the freedom of religion that we believe we do after all.
This family hurt absolutely no one while living on their mountain in their self-built cabin. The movie portrays the mother, Vicki, to be a little on the wacko side, however, the real life Vicki was a very educated and intelligent woman.
The movie, however, does show how the father, Randall Weaver, was clearly entrapped by the government by sending an under cover "spy" to befriend Weaver over a period of 3 years, finally selling him a sawed off shotgun to help support his family of 6.
Although some of the acting itself was not exactly great, the overall movie was fairly close to the TRUE story of this family whose 14 year old son, as well as a loving mother of 4 were killed by FBI agents.
I highly recommend reading The Ferderal Siege at Ruby Ridge...In Our Own Words, written by Randy and Sara Weaver themselves, which give the truthful account of what happened during those awful days in Idaho.

This whole movie proves how ignorant both children and adults can be when faced with the knowledge of a helpless individual's incurable, unwanted disease. These children already were going through a living hell dealing with the disease itself. They didn't need rude and ignorant comments and attacks from uneducated, immature people.
Although some of the treatment that the family receives in this movie might seem a bit exaggerated, the writers show proof of how people with such diseases are treated.
Every single day people are treated in this way because of their handicap(s). God bless these poor children who have to deal with such a disease as well as their parents who have the guilt themselves of feeling like they caused it.
I give two thumbs up to the creators of this awesome movie which I have seen more than once. Maybe it will encourage others to look further into how they treat people who may not be quite as blessed as themselves.
