An immersive three-part docuseries relives an incident that anyone who watched it unfold live on TV back in 1993 will never forget: the 51-day siege of the cultlike Branch Dividians and their messianic leader David Koresh at a compound outside Waco, Texas. The standoff led to a gunfight that resulted in the death of four ATF agents and a raid that exploded into a fiery tragedy with 82 congregants (25 of them children) perishing in the blaze. Director Tiller Russell looks at the event from all sides, interviewing FBI and ATF agents, journalists, one of Koresh’s “wives” and the last child released from the compound alive.
