Released 40 years after the events of the 1978 Jonestown mass murder-suicide that killed over 900 Americans, this four-part documentary explores the history of the Peoples Temple religious group. It follows Reverend Jim Jones from his roots as a charismatic preacher and civil rights advocate in Indiana to his transformation into a narcissistic demagogue who led one of the largest mass suicides in U.S. history. The story is based on the 2017 book "Road to Jonestown" by Jeff Guinn.
