Waco
Netflix (2018), Carol Noesner
“…a necessary and sometimes powerful series…”
—Matt Zoller Seitz, New York Magazine
“Netflix has found an off-service hit in the form of Waco, a powerful retelling of a tragedy with a deeply impressive cast.”
—Paul Tassi, Forbes
Description
“The FBI and ATF seize religious leader David Koresh's Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas in the spring of 1993.
Told from several perspectives of those most intimately involved from both sides of the conflict, it is surprising in its stark contrast to the media narrative at the time and what is remembered of Waco almost 25 years later.”
Stephanie’s Thoughts
“Stepping onto this set, I was struck by how everyone and everything felt imbued with a sense of duty....
…Like we all shared this sense of responsibility to illuminate the POV of the people who had lived this tragedy....
…We were a part of supporting this retelling that offered a deeper understanding of a moment in history.”
