WACO: AMERICAN APOCALYPSE TRAGIC SIEGE RELIVED

The 51-day armed standoff at the Texas compound of the Branch Davidian religious sect led by David Koresh (inset) is one of the bloodiest in recent history. Playing out across rolling news broadcasts, it cost the lives of 86 people, including 28 children. Using reconstructions and archive footage, this riveting threepart series tries to unpick what led to the disaster and charts its lasting effect, talking to surviving federal agents and some of Koresh’s disciples. It also draws on previously never-revealed recordings from within the FBI’S Crisis Negotiation Unit.
