Episode description

The People's Temple started as a religious community in the 1950s and evolved into an apocalyptic cult in the 1970s. This episode will cover the history of Jim Jones and The People's Temple cult, from its humble beginnings to its tragic end.

We'll be looking at how Jones was able to convince so many people that he was God, and how he convinced them to commit mass suicide by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid in 1978.
