We spoke w/ Michael Shannon about 'Waco: The Aftermath' and parallels with the current American militia movement.
From creators/showrunners Drew Dowdle and John Erick Dowdle, the Showtime original series Waco: The Aftermath, which essentially works as a sequel to the 2018 series Waco, digs into the fallout from the Waco siege by highlighting the trials of the surviving members of the Branch Davidian sect and the parallels with the American militia movement that is still present today.
MICHAEL SHANNON: I’m very touched that you say that, actually. I really appreciate that. It’s not something that’s necessarily apparent to everybody. It’s so interesting to watch this during the 30th anniversary of the Waco siege. When you look at it out of context, it seems like a self-contained incident that happened. But then, when you really dig into it, it feels like something that is still very relevant today. Were you surprised about that? Had you thought about Waco, in those terms, before doing this?
SHANNON: Yeah. The answer to that question is so deeply embedded in our culture and our history as a nation, and how our nation came to be, in the first place. There’s some people that might say we’re cursed because of the way that the country came into being in the first place. There’s some bad juju there. We came in and we took this land, and we took it away from the people who were indigenous to it. That’s the genesis. That’s where it all starts.
