- Based upon the true story of Jim Jones, a self proclaimed prophet. Jim Jones had a loyal following of about 1000 people, who had donated their entire life savings to him to join his commune.

Rather that faces the charges, Jim Jones committed suicide, and convinced virtually All of his followers to do the same. (FILMAFFINITY)
