  • Summary

  • In this episode we highlight the pressures and motivations that led Jim Jones to migrate his flock to the middle of the jungle in a South American country in a location so remote - escape was almost impossible. Until Leo Ryan, a U.S. Congressman, touches down in jungle on a congressional investigation into the communist settlement known as Jonestown. After offering asylum to Jim Jones' brainwashed, religious hostages; Leo Ryan and his party of reporters and government employees are ambushed at the airstrip which they flew in on and Leo Ryan is murdered. What happens next is horrific and everyone knows about the Jonestown Kool-Aid cocktail.
