Ausstrahlung: Aug 28, 2012

Jonestown: Nightmare in Paradise chronicles the tragic final days of the People's Temple cult. In November 1978, more than 900 People's Temple members perished at Jonestown, their compound in northern Guyana - an act of mass murder and suicide ordered by the cult's messianic leader, Jim Jones. This film includes archival footage, exhaustively researched dramatic re-creations, and interviews with survivors and key witnesses, including Stephan Jones, son of Jim Jones.
