Description

Fact and fiction intertwine to tell a cohesive and credible story of the United States’ greatest single loss of civilian lives in the 20th century – 919 American citizens died that day in the jungle. Four protagonists – two dead and two living, two men and two women, two Black and two white – tell their stories here, illuminating the formerly shadowed places populated by those who believed in Jim Jones.
