Finishing out our cult series, we saved the most tragic story for last.

Alex takes us into the mind of Jim Jones, following his story from his humble beginnings to the People's Temple final day.

Alex continues our deep dive into our favorite religious cults to round out our first ever three part series. Saving what we felt was the most tragic story of them all due to the sheer number of people who lost their lives.

Jim Jones, facing heavy media scrutiny decided to move his temple out of the country; somewhere he promised would be a paradise for his followers. However, the cascading domino effect of his final days lead to the largest single loss of American lives due to a deliberate act until the September 11th attacks.
