Jeff Davis(Classic 1997) Waco: The Big Lie [jNs48pJr2ms]
Branch Davidian Community Life, Prophet David Koresh
Former members describe the daily life at Mount Carmel as a communal existence modeled after the early apostles, centered on intensive Bible study. While critics like Jerry Falwell and the FBI labeled David Koresh a "cheap thug" and cult leader, his followers viewed him as a prophet with vast knowledge of science and scripture. The segment argues that public opinion of Koresh was manufactured by government agencies seeking to villainize the group.
