MSNBC to Premiere Documentary Series, American Cults

Each Sunday in October, MSNBC viewers will get a unique perspective on some of America’s most notorious cults. At 10 p.m. ET on October 4th and 11th, respectively, MSNBC will air “Will You Kill For Me? Charles Manson and His Followers,” and “Witness to Jonestown.” The 2-hour programs will lead up to the October 18th premiere of “Witness to Waco,” MSNBC’s latest documentary. Wrapping up the month, an encore presentation of all three films will air beginning at 7 p.m. ET on October 25th.

“Witness to Waco” provides an in-depth look into the Branch Davidians, a religious cult led by David Koresh in the late 1980s and early 1990s that ultimately met with a tragic, fiery end. The revealing documentary features candid interviews with survivors of the tragedy and rarely-seen footage of David Koresh and other members of the group inside the compound throughout the siege of the property.
