Wissenswertes
Revelations of Waco (2018) is a companion documentary series released exclusively on the Paramount Network website and YouTube channel following the initial airing of each episode of the miniseries. The series reveals the true to life details of the Waco siege through interviews with those on both sides of the conflict. Each episode runs between nine and thirteen minutes in length.

Patzer
The military vehicles are older models than those used in the actual siege. This was likely done because the U.S. military would not participate in filming, so the filmmakers had to rely on private collections.

Zitate
[from trailer]
David Koresh: You've looked to me to be your leader. To guide you on this journey. But I'm no leader. I'm a follower, just like you. God has instructed me to stay here and wait for His sign. This is our time to prove through suffering that we are worthy of the miracle that's to come. The Kingdom of Heaven is coming, I promise you.

Crazy Credits
SPOILER: EPILOGUE: "The FBI denied using incendiary devices that could have ignited a fire. They claimed the Branch Davidians intentionally started the fire in an apparent mass suicide."

"The Justice Department's Danforth Report in 2000 concluded the fire was started by the Branch Davidians. The report also acknowledged that the FBI had used incendiary flash-bang grenades in the assault."

"Surviving Branch Davidians maintained that there was never a plan for mass suicide."

"FBI negotiators successfully secured the release of 35 Branch Davidians during the siege."

"As a result of the tragedy in Waco, 76 Branch Davidians died in the fire."

"25 of them were children."

Both sides

This miniseries was done very well, giving perspective from both sides. Based on 2 books written, one by a Branch Davidian and one by the main FBI negotiator. Because the official government report that was written, I had always thought it was a mass suicide at the end of the standoff. This miniseries sure points to the government's failure as the cause of most of the deaths. Very thought provoking indeed. There are many well-known actors in this series, which elevates the quality of the accounts. This also brings great insight into the aspects of people's personalities that get caught up in the cult mentality. When you are insulated from any information outside your bubble, you lose the ability to think critically.
