Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle Premieres Sat 17 Nov on Sundance
Airing in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre that claimed the lives of more than 900 people, the two-night special event paints a picture of Jim Jones’ transformation from charismatic preacher and champion of civil rights into egomaniacal demagogue who led the biggest mass suicide in American history.
Based on the best-selling book by investigative journalist Jeff Guinn, and featuring archival footage – including secret FBI and CIA recordings, unreleased photographs and previously classified documents – “Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle” will attempt to answer the questions how? and why? The definitive account also includes new interviews with survivors and Jones family members.
