Jonestown
There have been several films, documentaries as well as docudramas, about Jonestown, and the first hour of this documentary doesn't offer much new information. The thing that makes it stand out from the rest is the last half hour, which includes footage from the last day in Jonestown and interviews with several members - at least two of which were there on November 18th, who escaped into the jungle - and members of Leo Ryan's group of visitors.The movie never really tries to explain why it happened and it doesn't answer all the questions the vierer may have, but it is still definately worth watching, especially for the last half hour and for the interviews.
