Today one of my students asked if I had seen a documentary on a religious cult that had aired on television earlier in the week. I hadn't, but we started discussing Cults and I mentioned that when I was at school one of the big stories was Jim Jones and The People's Temple. I briefly outlined what I remembered and after a little more discussion we got back to work. So here is a couple of pages that tell the story and a picture of the aftermath.

There is a PBS documentary about Jim Jones and here's a link to the site that contains information about it.
