Chronicles the transformation of Jim Jones from a charismatic preacher and champion of civil rights into an egomaniacal demagogue who led hundreds to take their own lives – both willingly and forcibly. The Jonestown massacre claimed the lives of more than 900 people – the greatest single loss of American lives before September 11.
Based on the best-selling book by investigative journalist Jeff Guinn, and featuring archival footage; including secret FBI and CIA recordings, unreleased photographs, previously classified documents and chilling interviews with survivors — Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle offers the definitive account of the tragedy that captivated the world.
