This documentary explores the rise and tragic fall of cult leader Jim Jones and his Peoples Temple that resulted in the deaths of over 900 of his followers - casualties of the largest mass murder-suicide in history. The film follows Jones from his early days as an Indiana preacher to his final days at Jonestown, where there were allegations of physical and sexual abuse. Using a vast collection of previously unseen home movies and archival photographs, the film provides a revealing portrait of Jones, his followers, and the times that produced the calamity in the Guyanese jungle on November 17, 1978 as told by the people who know the story firsthand: Jonestown survivors, Temple defectors, relatives of the dead, and journalists.
