Forty-three years ago this week, over 900 people lost their lives in the Jonestown Massacre. The mass-murder-suicide took place just a year and a half after Jim Jones moved hundreds of his followers from California to a large plot of land outside Georgetown, Guyana.
Aurora and Angelina retrace the history of the dangerous cult, from the founding of The People's Temple in 1954, to its devastating end in 1978, and straighten out some common misconceptions.

Writing and research by Angelina Villeseche.

Original music and audio production by Louis Levesque.
