Waco

This gripping film presents an unflinching portrayal of one of the most infamous clashes between law enforcement agencies and a religious cult in modern American history. Set in Waco, Texas in 1993, we are introduced to David Koresh, leader of the Branch Davidians – a spiritual sect whose beliefs challenged mainstream norms. The narrative unfolds as federal agents from the FBI and ATF become embroiled in a tense standoff with this unconventional religious community. As days turn into weeks, negotiations crumble, and the atmosphere thickens with paranoia, mistrust, and escalating violence that culminates in a deadly shootout and engulfing fire. The film masterfully captures the complex dynamics at play while delving into themes of faith, authority, and the consequences of unyielding convictions.
