  • Resumen

  • On November 18th, 1978, over 900 people died at an American settlement in the jungle of Guyana called Jonestown. In this first of two episodes, we are going to find out how they ended up in South America.


    Who was the eponymous Reverend Jim Jones, notorious leader of the cult? What did the Peoples Temple believe in? How and why did they make the journey from Indiana to California to Guyana?


    Don is joined by author and scholar Annie Dawid, who has spent over two decades researching Peoples Temple.


    Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Tim Arstall. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
