Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestownfrom Nat Geo and Hulu, features new interviews with survivors and witnesses as well as rare footage from inside the Guyanese cult
Revisit the tragic and the infamous Jonestown Massacre in the new trailer for an upcoming documentary examining the final hours of the Jim Jones cult in Guyana.
Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown — the latest installment in Nat Geo and Hulu's One Day in America franchise — features rare archival footage as well as interviews with witnesses and survivors to explore the fall of the utopian community turned into a militarized cult and the group's eventual descent into murder and mass suicide that left 918 dead in November 1978.
“There's not a day that goes by that you don't think about parts of it,” says one of the survivors in the documentary's trailer.
The three-episode documentary, premiering June 17 on Hulu and August 14 on Nat Geo, begins with California Rep. Leo Ryan's ill-fated visit to the People's Temple cult amid allegations of abuse, setting off a chain of events that rekindles further the already paranoid Jones.
Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown features interviews with former Peoples Temple members, including Thom Bogue, Leslie Wagner Wilson and Yulanda Williams, as well as former congressman and aide to U.S. Rep. Leo Ryan Jackie Speier, Washington Post foreign correspondent Charles Krause, son of Jones Stephan Jones , and — speaking about the tragedy for the first time in a documentary, former Air Force Special Ops Capt. David Netterville, one of three members of the US military who entered the Jonestown compound immediately after the mass casualty incident.
The documentaries come from 72 Films' Emmy Award-winning executive producers David Glover and Mark Raphael, BAFTA-winning director Marian Mohamed, along with Academy Award-winning directors Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin.
