Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Filmed in May 1993, just weeks after the actual siege ended. Some crew members had covered the real events as journalists.
This rushed TV movie helped cement the 'Koresh as manipulative genius' narrative before congressional investigations could challenge it. The real David Thibodeau called it 'propaganda with better lighting.'
