New York Times - 10/20/2006

Product Description:

With previously unseen footage and interviews with former members of the Peoples Church, this documentary explores the events leading up to the Jonestown Massacre in 1978. A cult which developed a large following in the 1970s, the Peoples Church was led by Jim Jones, who brought his congregation to an idyllic community in Guyana before inciting them to mass suicide.
