About

You can watch Jonestown: Paradise Lost (2007) for free on Hoopla.

Jonestown: Paradise Lost is a documentary on the final days of Jonestown, the Peoples Temple, and Jim Jones. From eyewitness and survivor accounts, it recreates the last week before the mass murder-suicide on November 18, 1978.

Jim Jones transforms a dream of racial equality into a claustrophobic nightmare of absolute control. Survivors recount the final, frantic days of the Peoples Temple with chilling clarity to show how a utopian vision curdled into mass murder.
