In 1992, Boundary County was the scene of the infamous Ruby Ridge siege by 350-400 armed federal agents against Randy Weaver and his family.

As a reporter he covered the Randy Weaver/Ruby Ridge case for the Spokane Spokesman-Review newspaper and authored a book about the case, Every Knee Shall Bow (revised edition titled Ruby Ridge).
Subsequently, the train was stopped by an armed posse in the town of Paint Rock, Alabama, and two white women got out making an accusation that they had been raped by nine black teenagers, the Scottsboro Boys, on the train.
The film was inspired by Telford Taylor's book Nuremberg and Vietnam: An American Tragedy, and Taylor is interviewed extensively during the film.
The film is a docudrama about the confrontation between the Weaver family and the US federal government at Ruby Ridge in 1992, as well as the events leading up to it.
