Jonestown - The Terrible Fate of the People's Temple | Free Documentary History

[@FreeDocumentaryHistory]

This documentary delves into the final chapters of the Peoples Temple saga in Jonestown, Guyana. Through a combination of survivor testimonials and dramatic reenactments, it portrays the escalating paranoia and erratic behavior of Reverend Jim Jones as internal and external pressures mount. Congressman Leo Ryan's insistence on visiting triggers a tense standoff as Jones vacillates between allowing and resisting the visit. Unexpected defections during the visit catch Jones off guard, prompting drastic actions. In the end over 900 individuals, including men, women, and children, found themselves entangled in a web of manipulation and coercion, ultimately resulting in a devastating loss of life.

[@sharoneuleenlammersgivenna7986]

@@FreeDocumentaryHistory everything that the outside word saw was planned out to the words and everything. Jones never let anyone see anything he didn't want them to see. However, he never counted on the will of some children to live free without him saying we could. He didn't count on small eyes and ears seeing and hearing the truth for themselves. He never counted on the love for family from some children. And the other leaders never counted on buried nightmares being remembered and talked about openly.

914 of the 918 dead, including Jones himself, were collected by the United States military in Guyana, then transported by military cargo plane to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, a location that had been used previously for mass processing of the dead from the Tenerife airport disaster. The last shipment of bodies arrived early on the morning of November 27, 1978. The base's mortuary was tasked with fingerprinting, identifying, and processing bodies. The base's resources were overwhelmed, and numerous individuals tasked with moving or identifying the bodies suffered symptoms of PTSD. In many cases, responsibility for cremation of the remains was distributed to Dover area funeral homes. In August 2014, the never-claimed cremated remains of nine people from Jonestown were found in a former funeral home in Dover. As of September 2014, four of their remains had been returned to next-of-kin, and the remaining five had not. Those five were publicly identified in the hope that family would claim their remains; all five remain unclaimed by family and have been interred at the Jonestown Memorial at Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland, CA, along with the remains of approximately half of those who perished on November 18, 1978.

I will never understand the guy who left his son there. I have no doubt he loved his kid in his own way but what a selfish, self preservation move to leave him there. He was only four or five. No mother, it was just him and his dad there. This man has said so many conflicting things “I wasn’t thinking clearly….if they saw me pass a note to the congressman they would have killed me…..I couldn’t tell my son he would have reported me (newsflash. You don’t tell your kid you’re taking him, you just take him because he is only four)….my son is black I didn’t want to subject him to a racist government in the US. He would have been better off staying there….I didn’t know what was going to happen to me”. WTF. You have a white congressman with black relatives of other followers trying to all fly and rescue them together and you leave your son there with a man you know is a murderer because you think the US government might be racist? So why did you beg to go with them? That congressman lost his life there trying to save and protect any person of any color from a white sociopath. I just don’t get it and never will with this dude and his excuses.

[@GraffitiForensics]

Wikipedia's context flag is rather interesting. One of the most interesting characteristics of Jonestown is invoked in the documentary multiple times. A remote "settlement"? Not that simple. The Cult of The Peoples Temple & Jim Jones was motivated by his desire to create a socialist utopia, and not so much a place to safely worship. And like your classic profiles of socialist regimes, it was sustained by restricting the whereabouts, movement, communication, discussions and personal interests of it's members residing in Jonestown. After all, there is a cult mentality cultivated in a totalitarian state. And the tenets of totalitarianism is sometimes what is cultivating the cult mentality. In a sense, they are bedfellows. This is how I summarize what Jim Jones perpetrated. And that crime serves as an example of how 'sheepish' followers can be convinced by authority to not only hate others, but to take their own lives, in objection to those people and things they hate. The story of Jonestown and it's false prophet does reveal some thought-provoking similarities to some of the words and action by the current U.S. government, and the chief political figureheads of the rest of the world. One of which may be tied to my suspicion that socialism, not democracy, is experiencing a revival in several governments of the world who are looking to secure their power by imposing more control. When I heard the documentary speak of Jones' "White Knight" loudspeaker announcements to residents, for emergency meetings during the night, I was reminded of the current trends in national emergency declarations over everything from climate fears to viruses, and how this has people feeling. We have the same problem Jonestown residents did. How do we know the difference between a real emergency and a fabricated one, if we are being denied information, and access to some information is being blocked? People who are not fully informed are the most vulnerable. And as it was for Jim Jones, that ignorance was key to him maintaining power over his followers.

[@remy12]

I believe they did a test run a few years ago(C-19) to see how people would react. We definitely got a taste of what governments can and will do when they deem it appropriate. Quite scary really.

This is NOT a documentary; it's a cheap drama with terrible acting. Lolz

[@retrospectors6595]

Probably should’ve said docudrama instead.

[@bethcrumpton476]

It does use actual footage and interview survivors, but the guy playing Jim Jones in the rest of it looks more like a bad Elvis impersonator. And the guy playing Stephen Jones looks nothing like the actual Stephen Jones.

Not cheap, very well done.
