The story

What Is Waco: Madman or Messiah About?

The premise of Waco: Madman or Messiah without spoilers.

Until the 1993 ATF raid on the Branch Davidians, few outside Texas knew of the religious group or its charismatic leader, David Koresh. The assault triggered a 51‑day standoff with the FBI, during which many followers were willing to die for Koresh’s teachings. The film examines who he was and why his followers remained loyal.
