Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple I’ve watched a couple of documentaries on this subject in the past year and I’m still shocked at the way events unfolded in Jonestown. This documentary is excellent and presents some new information (new to me at least) on Jones and the People’s Temple. It’s such a fascinating/depressing/insane story it’s hard to go wrong with the retelling, but this is really well done. If you’re going to see one thing on the Jones saga, this is the one to check out.
