A documentary on the Oklahoma City bombing will start streaming on Max on April 16.
The HBO Original documentary An American Bombing: The Road to April 19th, directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker Marc Levin and executive produced by Katie Couric, also will air on HBO.
The documentary looks at the surge in homegrown political violence through the story of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, showing the roots of anti-government sentiment and its reverberations today, along with the warnings of those who suffered tragic losses in the deadliest homegrown attack in U.S. history.
On April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh ignited a truck bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people, including 19 children. An American Bombing parses the details of that day, the experiences of the people who were there, the manhunt for the perpetrators, and the pivotal moments of the trials. The film also goes back in time to reveal the personal trajectory of McVeigh, his struggles after serving his country in the Gulf War and his association with pro-gun, anti-government groups. The film connects McVeigh with the ideology of a larger extremist movement that was forged in the aftermaths of the farm crisis, the Gulf War, Ruby Ridge, and Waco.
Featured participants include former President Bill Clinton; bombing survivor Nancy Shaw; investigative reporters Mike Boettcher and Bob Sands; former Oklahoma police officer Daniel Coss; former FBI special agents Danny Coulson, Michael Liwicki, and Bob Ricks; former domestic terrorist Kerry Noble; McVeigh’s childhood friend Mollie McDermott; and victims’ family members Kathy Sanders, Marsha Kimble, LaDonna Battle-Leverett, and Bud Welch, among others.
