Wow. This documentary actually made a huge impression on me. I'm more of an animal guy myself, but I have to say, a couple of scenes in this documentary really got to me. I caught this on television without knowing what it was about beforehand, and not having heard of Jonestown at all. And like I said, some scenes towards the end are truly horrifying. One shot in particular took me by surprise, and really stabbed me in the feels(..as the kids say these days). Totally heartbreaking.
The whole story is fascinating as hell, and Jim Jones is really charismatic, and you can kind of understand how/why people, for some reason or other, was mesmerized by him.
This whole cult-thing is a fascinating and scary concept, and it's interesting to see how stuff like this can actually happen. With commentary from actual people who were actually there.
I can also recommend "The Sacrament" which is a mystery/thriller/horror based on these events.
