Guyana: Cult of the Damned

In the remote jungle of Guyana, a charismatic priest named Reverend Jim Jones leads a cult of devoted followers, but as they become increasingly isolated, a few begin to question his motives and ultimately challenge his deadly command to commit mass suicide.

The film dramatizes the Guyana tragedy, tracing Reverend Jim Jones' descent from charismatic clergyman to paranoid leader. He begins his own church in the US, but his obsession with the CIA leads him to relocate to Guyana, where he creates a utopia with a twisted focus on control and abuse.
