Episode 2 Life In The Promised Land

Leading up to the release of the New West exposé Jim Jones fled to his jungle compound bringing several hundred Peoples Temple members with him. Jonestown ballooned from a small settlement to a makeshift city of over 900. As food dwindled and supplies vanished, Jones's voice echoed day and night through Jonestown's public address system as he ranted paranoid warnings of a coming siege. Under the blistering sun, Temple members worked endlessly while their leader spiraled into a drug-fueled psychosis. The truth hit hard the moment new residents surrendered their passports: there would be no escape. Join us as we investigate the grim realities of life in the Promised Land.
