Waco – Madman or Messiah TV Show Story
Waco: Madman or Messiah TV Show is a definitive account of the Branch Davidian religious sect and their leader David Koresh in the years leading up to and including the 51-day stand-off with the FBI that ended in a fiery tragedy on Mount Carmel, TX back in 1993.
Few had ever heard of the Branch Davidians and their leader David Koresh, born Vernon Wayne Howell, until the events of February 28, 1993 when a raid by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) on their center close to Waco, Texas, left four agents and six of the religious sect dead. It led to a 51-day stand-off with the FBI, the longest in U.S. law-enforcement history, ending in a tragic fire which killed an additional 75 members of the community including 23 children.
With Koresh’s own haunting voice acting as the spine to this documentary, nine Branch Davidian survivors tell how they believed he was sent by God to lead them into the final battle and how he prophesied, with uncanny accuracy, the events that were to ultimately unfold. They give emotional accounts of what happened after Koresh announced it was God’s will that all the women in the group were to be his wives; how he separated married couples and impregnated young girls to raise the chosen race. They relive what daily life was like inside the compound during the siege and some explain why, to this day, they wish they had perished in the fire.
