Episode description as stored

Jim Jones told his people he loved them. He built a church that preached racial equality and social justice at a time when those words carried weight. Then he moved nearly a thousand followers to a jungle compound in Guyana and called it paradise. On November 18, 1978, 918 people died at Jonestown — including 304 children — in a mass poisoning Jones called a revolutionary act. We trace the full arc of the Peoples Temple: the idealism that drew people in, the terror that kept them from leaving, and the single worst loss of American civilian life until September 11, 2001.
