Forty years after the Jonestown massacre – one of the most horrific incidents in recent American history – a documentary will shine a light on cult leader Jim Jones and his followers.
At the time, there was substantial news coverage of the incident, with some publications branding the event “mass suicide”.
The two-part documentary is based on the work of investigative journalist Jeff Guinn, who also acts a producer, and features archival footage, recreations and new interviews from those close affected by the incident.
Along with DiCaprio and Guin, Jennifer Davisson of Appian Way and Stephen David of Stephen David Entertainment are producing.
