This story takes us from Jim Jones' early days growing up in Indiana, thru to when he first started becoming interested in preaching whilst still a young man, right up to the moment where he & over 900 of his followers "committed suicide" at their Jonestown settlement in Guyana in 1978. The film features clips of Jones preaching his version of the word, and even taking editing into account, you gotta say somebody should have seen this coming, with his increasing erratic behaviour and his tendency to control gaining momentum over the years. It also features many ex-members, all of whom lost family members & friends. |
