The McVeigh Tapes: Confession of an American Terrorist

S1 E4: MSNBC's Rachel Maddow brings viewers the inside story of the Oklahoma City bombing, the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil prior to 9/11. Hear Timothy McVeigh's chilling confession in his own words for the first time. Drawing from 45 hours of never-before-released interview audiotapes recorded during McVeigh's prison stay, the film reveals the bomber's descriptions of the planning and execution of the horrific attack and offers insight into how a decorated American soldier became a dangerous, anti-government terrorist. The two-hour documentary employs state-of-the-art computer recreations of the interview with McVeigh and his actions on and leading up to the day of the bombing. It also provides biographical background of McVeigh's life and the path that led to his transformation into an 'American terrorist.'
