Inside Waco

Image 1 / 3

In February 1993, the world watched as the biggest armed siege in modern American history unfolded in Texas. The bungled raid, on the headquarters of an extreme religious group led by David Koresh, culminated in the deaths of 84 men, women and children, including 22 Britons. Now, using dramatic reconstruction, first person testimony, FBI recordings and home video footage, Inside Waco reveals what really happened during the bloody 51-day siege. With first-hand accounts from those closest to the action, including: Byron Sage, the FBI’s lead negotiator and Jeff Jarmer, who led the FBI operation; plus British Branch Davidians Derek Lovelock and Natalie Norbrega – both cult members speaking on television for the first time. FBI surveillance tapes from the time of the siege give a unique insight into the tense negotiations and the film reveals extraordinary footage, shot from inside the compound by the Davidians themselves, where they made their last desperate appeal to the FBI.
