David Koresh: The Final 24

Dr.Docs' Take

The final 24 hours of the Waco siege, 18 April 1993, David Koresh and eighty-plus followers trapped and refusing to surrender before the fire that killed most of them. I keep this near the FRONTLINE cut as the tighter, more intimate version. The questions about who started that fire have never been cleanly answered. Watch it and sit with how a standoff over belief ended with children dead and a nation still arguing.

April 18, 1993. One of the most notorious religious leaders in the United States, David Koresh, and 83 of his followers have been trapped inside their Waco, Texas compound for over 50 days. Unwilling to surrender and surrounded by authorities, the siege is the longest modern-day standoff in American law enforcement history. In 24 hours, however, it will all be over… And Koresh and 73 others will be dead.
