Koresh: The True Story of David Koresh and the Tragedy at Waco

Koresh paints a psychological portrait of one of the most infamous cult leaders of the 1990's through drawing on new, exclusive interviews with members of David Koresh's family and survivors of the siege in Waco, Stephan Talty uses his signature immersive story telling to illuminate how this man's obsession with firearms mixed with a fanatical fixation on a holy war in which he imagined himself as the Messiah, who above all prized his followers faith and his own sexual conquest. The horrifically destructive 51-day stand off between this cult, the FBI and the ATF, eerily embodies anti-government principles that still resonate.
