FBI's 51-Day Waco Siege: David Koresh's Last Stand

Dr.Docs' Take

A deep look at David Koresh and the 51-day Waco siege, peeling back the leader and the followers behind one of the most contested standoffs in American history. I keep this near the FRONTLINE version as the more human, less procedural cut. Seventy-six people died in that fire, many of them children, and the questions about the government's role have never fully settled. Watch both and sit with how much is still genuinely unresolved.

This documentary revisits the 51-day Waco siege and the life of David Koresh, the charismatic leader of the Branch Davidians. It peels back the layers behind his followers' devotion and the standoff with the FBI that ended in disaster. It examines the beliefs and motivations that drove people to the edge. It is a gripping watch about faith, power and one of the most infamous sieges in American history. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
