Jonestown: The Women Behind the Massacre (2018 TV Special) User Reviews

Revealing

I was in my mid-20's when this occurred so by now I thought I'd heard all the facts. However, the female leadership team's role was news to me. They planned the murders/suicides months before the incident, ordered the poison, planned and practiced the event! Chilling.

Paradise lost

This is powerful glimpse of never-before-seen perspective of several women, nearly lost to history, that played major roles in the 1978 Jonestown Massacre in Guyana. This expose offers that Jim Jones was not the only one responsible for the mass suicide. These woman were used and abused and tended to every absurd whim of the crazed Jones. Nothing really new revealed except for a claim that Jones was not the one that pulled the trigger putting a bullet in his head as the final moment ending the massacre. Paradise was lost to sex and drugs.

Well,since i was a small boy, the jonestown tragedy has fascinated me.i read an article in readers digest,and have read heard and watched alot about this subject.,anyway,may they still rest in peace. this docu considers the female kadres of the congregation, interesting but nothing surprisingly new. there are some original audio and film clips ,but the main footage are mainly acted dramatization on low quality film.there are interwievs with family,defectors and others,but this gave no further answer or explonation to the tragedy than we now from before. to those who havent heard about the jonestown tragedy ,do watch it,for the rest its a decent reminder.
