The 51-Day Siege That Shook America

The Texas town of Waco has, for many Americans, become synonymous with tragedy—ever since the 51-day Waco siege in 1993 between the federal government and an extremist religious sect called the Branch Davidians.

For 51 days, FBI negotiators attempt to secure the release of over a hundred people, many of them wome​n and children, from inside a compound controlled by cult leader, David Koresh. With negotiations grinding to a halt, the FBI attempts the use of tear gas to force the cult members out – with catastrophic consequences.​
