Waco: American Apocalypse

" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A well balanced account of what really went down at Branch Davidian, the result of which has reverberated throughout the years to the present, with white nationalism, domestic terrorism and the far right mindset. Yet another doc that confirms authority systems and enforcement agencies have no idea what they’re doing. If handled with more cooperation between agencies in a transparent, honest and well considered manner perhaps we wouldn’t be quite so sociopolitically f*cked now. This quote perfectly resonates for the unnecessary destructive outcome of the 51 day standoff resulting in 80+ horrific deaths: “Communication and empathy will always be far more effective tools than force and violence.”"

"Very interesting cult story on religious sect called the Davidians. Sad but an important day remember to remember in history, especially with the amount of mass shootings the US is facing right now. #cult #documentary #netflix #texas #waco #gun #abuse #religioussect"

"Very well done. Another unbiased documentary showing all sides equally. It’s truly a tragedy what happened. "

"Shocking. "

"Haven’t seen this footage before. So many errors, ego driven missions— what a horrible horrible and shocking tragedy. "

"so heartbreaking! I like that the audience is able to hear both perspectives of those in the cult, and the federal agents who responded in Waco. it is devastating that so many lives were lost."

"Even if you've seen other Waco documentaries, there is something new for you here - the footage is unbelievable. It also has interviews with members of the negotiation team and the combat team, and SURPRISE the two are often at odds in ways that feel relatable. We also meet a survivor who is obviously still brainwashed. An excellent psychological study!"

"It's an ok docuseries. Not my favorite. I did bindge it over one evening so that's a good sign. A dangerous religious group but the ATF and FBI acted in the worst way possible."

"This was crazy to watch being from Waco myself! I wish people talked about the other things that have happened in Waco though. Like the Lake Waco murders, the two trafficking bust that happened these past 8 years, or how many bodies that have been pulled from the Brazos, ect "

"Great documentary if you like cult-style true crime. Heart wrenching story that shows both sides and the errors made on multiple peoples’ parts. "
