Smith Cameron, Kieran Mulcare and Michael Vincent Berry were in attendance.
Starring Oscar® nominee Michael Shannon (GEORGE & TAMMY) and Emmy® nominee Giovanni Ribisi (The Offer), WACO: THE AFTERMATH focuses on the fallout of the Waco disaster: the trials of the surviving members of the Branch Davidian sect, which forces them to explore their own complicity in supporting a young Vernon Howell’s ascent to become their prophet David Koresh; the birth of the militia movement and more specifically a critical look at what happens when a marginalized population, disenfranchised by the federal government, gives rise to homegrown terrorist, Timothy McVeigh.
