Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle Saturday, November 17, 9PM on SundanceTV
Jim Jones transforms from a charismatic preacher and champion of civil rights into an egomaniacal demagogue and leads the biggest mass suicide in American history; based on the book “The Road to Jonestown” by investigative journalist Jeff Guinn.
This two-night documentary explores the 1978 Jonestown massacre, in which more than 900 members of the Rev. Jim Jones’ Peoples Temple died from drinking poison in their Guyana jungle settlement.
