Slog - Comments on Today in Stranger Suggests http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/today_in_stranger_suggests_17 'Jonestown' (Film) This amazing documentary uses miles of archival footage to tell the frightening story of an apparently progressive, racially integrated church that ended in the largest mass suicide in the history of the world. The rise of the Peoples Temple cult and the transformation of a kook with sunglasses into a barbiturate-addicted sadist mirror, almost too perfectly, the way the revolutionary fever of the 1960s morphed into the panic and decline of the '70s.

Yes, the tape was of interest.

I listened to all 44 minutes plus.

I read the archive reviews over and over while listening trying to make sense of it all but came to no conclusion.

I want to see the new documentary just that much more now.

Thank you for providing the link.
