Ambush in Waco

BBC One
on BBC One London

A dramatisation of the build-up to events that shocked the world.
Starring Timothy Daly, Dan Lauria

Claiming to be the new Messiah, demanding his female followers as wives and stockpiling weapons awaiting imminent Armageddon, charismatic David Koresh gathers his flock in a purpose-built compound near the sleepy town of Waco, Texas. When specialist New Orleans lawmen spearhead an attempt to curtail the cult's activities, the confrontation proves catastrophic.
