On November 18, 1978, over 900 members of Peoples Temple died in the largest mass suicide/murder in history.Using never before seen archival footage and survivor interviews, “Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple” tells the story of the people who followed Jim Jones from Indiana, to California, and finally to the remote jungles of Guyana, South America, in a misbegotten quest to build an ideal society and rid the world of injustice.
