Tiller Russell, the filmmaker behind Netflix's "Night Stalker," unravels a chilling chapter of American history with "Waco: American Apocalypse." In 1993, cult leader David Koresh came up in a 51-day standoff against the FBI at a Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. The siege ended in tragedy, leaving nearly 80 people killed in the aftermath. Those who happened to have tuned into Paramount Network's "Waco" miniseries can supplement their viewing with this documentary project, which features exclusive access to videotapes from the FBI Negotiation Unit, unreleased news footage, and FBI recordings. Along with the details surrounding the siege, the three-episode series also touches upon the child sexual abuse allegations against Koresh, who presented himself as the key to eternal salvation.
