Jonestown Promotional Film (Full Version)

Everything you need to know about Jonestown is on this channel....wow..

[@kennethblachlyjr3040]

Jonestown, Terror in the Jungle is a great documentary

[@anthonykimball7463]

Terror In The Jungle was very good, but Stanley Nelson's Peoples Temple/Jonestown documentary made for PBS had a much larger amount of ex-Temple members (many of whom have since died). You really need to see both.

[@cindysmith637]

That large black man with Afro and smiling, with white t shirt and dirty jeans that Jim hugged at the beginning , his name is Anthony Simon . His brother Jerome, , his mother , sister in law and her two babies all died. His other brother Michael survived. His brother Jerome was armed and participated in the murderous rampage at the airport. So sad.

[@henrybemis8913]

That is so sad......

[@jrad410]

In fact I believe Anthony Simon himself was one of the shooters

[@Loudes012]

That wasn't really an airport. That was his plan to isolate these brain washed people and lead them in a death trap. Worst mistake in their life was to follow this clown.

[@Loudes012]

This place was isolated so that no one could upset his deadly plan. So sad they couldn't see through this false prophet.

[@Im_lil_kennedy]

Did Anthony survive?

[@MrsP474]

This collection of promotional footage spans over a period of time. From the beginning of the video: 1975, March 1976 (storeroom clip) and 1976 to early 1977 (red pyjamas). But there are definitely more videos of Jim promoting Jonestown besides these clips; when he is showing Kool Aid in the storeroom in March 1976 and the bananas in late 1976 as two examples. He moved there permanently in June 1977, then of course many videos were made on the pavilion etc, when he lived there.

[@henrybemis8913]

YES this is a compilation.....

[@sjdrifter72]

Imagine the nightmare the cult members faced once they were trapped in this hellhole after being misinformed that Jonestown was going to be a Paradise to live in? They had their passports taken away as well as their means of income. In other words, they were at the mercy of a diabolical madman.

[@rosastephens8966]

remember,Peoples Temple was a 'social service advocacy/provider "Church". Many of these people you are referring too were not simply 'members' or even 'prisoners of Jonestown'. They were clients of People Temple and willingly gave their monies and possessions to the Temple for the totalist , social services that the Temple promised to provided , and did provide, until it couldn't.

Jim had to get the F--- OUT of America because he was facing a Sh-t Ton of Lawsuit's and Legal Problems. He dumped all his money in Guyana and had enough personal Pharmaceuticals to fully sedate a herd of Elephants.

I love these home movies and seeing the progress the pioneers made, unreal. The personalities of the people radiate happiness in this early period. Compare this to NBC'S footage where they're all emotionally drained and vacant looking, nobody's character stands out then, they all portray the same existence. So sad, Tim Swinney makes me smile in all these clips, yet a couple years later he is invisible.

[@TheJpep2424]

They were controlled, beaten, abused and starved. Anything that portrayed otherwise was propaganda put out by a psychotic cult leader.

What makes it so sad is I read where their passports were taken away, security guards posted up. I wonder how the people felt when they got there thinking it was paradise.

Remember,the people who took the passports and the guards were people everyone knew,worked with and loved. Often biological family members in many cases.

I'd love to hear a body language and facial expression expert analyze this video. I'm neither, but looking at their faces with the benefit of hindsight, something really feels ' off' . Of course, now we all know something really WAS ' off' . But it's not hard to imagine this video having been an effective recruiting tool, given the issues in society at that time. The truly sad part is, a lot of those same issues never went away. Survivor Leslie Wagner Wilson is on tape saying she fears that conditions exist today that could lead to another ' Jonestown ' . For that reason , it's important for people to remember this tragedy. So that it never happens again.

Jonestown could've actually been a nice place if JJ wasn't such a psychopath.

But, I guess it's much easier to control people when they're malnourished, sleep deprived, and overworked.

[@Matt92Machine]

This was filmed years before the massacre, while they were still building up Jonestown. If you google jonestown tape archives, you can find hundreds of tapes they recovered from Jonestown that aren't on KZbin, but they are online free to listen to. They recorded just about every speech and meeting they had. The poor quality of some of the tapes make it even more creepy to listen to. It's a rabit hole you might regret going down.

Getting to the country and finding out the “paradise” is 200 miles deep into the jungle. Essentially making it a prison. 4. Surrendering your passports on arrival. 5. Armed guards at the entrance to Jonestown. 6. Mass suicide “dry runs” (white night). 7. Singing the Soviet national anthem.
