US Premiere!

On the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing comes this theatrical, eye-opening drama following Timothy McVeigh, his crime, the thousands of people affected by it and Bud Welch, the man who lost his daughter in the tragedy and was moved to forgive her murderer. 

Directed by Dave Barton.

Timothy McVeigh (Frank Romeo) watches footage of Waco on his television with sister Jennifer (Heather Enriquez).

 

Distressed fireman Michael (Bryan Prince) doesn’t get any solace from the local Priest (Kurt Jarrard): “I've heard you talk about faith a hundred times and I've tried to believe you, but at the back of my mind, if I'm completely honest with you, there's this nagging voice saying…’If my God is so great, if my God is so good, then why did he let me drag those bodies out of the rubble?’  What sort of Being is he to let this happen?”

Therapist Caroline (Julia Emelin) urges patient Sarah (Christine Tenabe) to take her anger at McVeigh out on a teddy bear.

Waco Survivor Olivia (Sara Mashayekh) rips pages from Revelations out of her Bible as she thanks McVeigh for his actions.

Defense Attorney Stephen Jones (Rick Kopps) meets with McVeigh (Frank Romeo): “The Government is building a case built on tears, a brilliant case built on emotion.  But I know there's more to it.  Somewhere, someone saw what a wonderful killing machine you would be.  A warrior, a man who would throw himself on his sword. Someone who'd be misguided enough to go to his death perpetuating a lie.”

The night before the bombing, Colleen (Brenda Kenworthy) and Darrell (Drew Sutherland) sing their daughter to sleep.

 

Muslim convert Lori (Kelly Pinza) tries to talk sense to her bigoted father Kurt (Rick Kopps): “I met Tarik, we fell in love.  Just like you and Mom. I thought you loved me enough to make the effort to overcome your prejudices, Dad.”
