IN THIS EPISODE: We\u2019ll look not only at the horrible events of the Jonestown massacre itself, but what life was like for those in The Peoples Temple cult before the mass suicide took place. Plus, we\u2019ll look through the eyes of first responders who came upon the grizzly scene immediately after, and how they dealt with the horrors they stepped into. *** (Originally aired September 14, 2020)
