The story: This is a PBS documentation of the life of a preacher Jim Jones and his followers told by people who attended his church, believed in him and loved him but ended up feeling portrayed by him. Jim Jones basically ran a commune for years of people who wanted peace, love, and happiness while he preached to them in God's name and pretended to perform miracles for his followers.
But what his adoring followers really got in their end on a faithful day in November of 1978 was sudden death orchestrated by their preacher, by convincing them dying a mass suicide was their only way to peace...while he denied to them that they were actually committing suicide...he claimed it was revolutionary.
