On February 28, 1993, a deadly gun battle erupted at the Branch Davidian compound outside of Waco as Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents attempted to serve warrants and arrest the group’s leader, David Koresh, on weapons charges.
On April 16th, Waco: The Aftermath will air on Showtime. The project is a sequel to the Paramount miniseries, and it follows Branch Davidians like Kathy Schroeder and David Thibodeau who survived the siege.
Thirty years after the Branch Davidian compound went up in flames, the docuseries Waco: American Apocalypse dissects the 51-day standoff between federal agents and cult leader David Koresh.
David Koresh was a cult leader that played a role in triggering the Waco massacre almost 30 years ago at Mount Carmel, a sprawling building located on scrubland nine miles from Waco, Texas.
