What happened at Waco, where Big Gov massacred so many people? This mini-series tells the story from both inside the Branch Davidian and outside, taking inspiration from books from a former member and a FBI negotiatior.
David Koresh is head of his own cult, predicting end times. A theology prof was even impressed by his interpretation of Revelations with the Seven Seals. He believes that his little group will be the last one surviving, thanks to the children he will father... to the prof's dismay, who tried and tried to have children with his wife. Their group will be joined by a drummer they meet on the road.
Meanwhile, Big Gov is its usual bully. At Ruby Ridge, Idaho, the ATF and FBI take a family hostage because they committed the "crime" of selling sawed-off shotguns. Their snipers kill a child and a woman, but the man finally surrenders (the Davidians do watch TV reports on that). Their agents do intercept grenades and weapons purchase from the Davidians, according to "sources inside". Is it the new neighbor?
Final rating: 4/5 (no sensationalizing)
