Pt. 2 - Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple

This is part 2 of the entire PBS Documentary of Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple. Featuring never-before-seen footage, this documentary delivers a startling new look at the Peoples Temple, headed by preacher Jim Jones who, in 1978, led more than 900 members to Guyana, where he orchestrated a mass suicide via tainted punch.

how does a monkey just kill itself, and why the fuck did jim jones just HAVE monkeys

[AndrewDangerously]

That whole story with the monkey was so god damned bizarre. She says it so fucking causally too.

[bassobest]

were times so bad back then, that even monkeys kill themselfs?

Lol the monkey part was random

[MrsFreshMorning]

this is what happens in our society when we dont take care of the old and needy, people like jim jones pray on them

[crazydave1212]

@katinkers yeah what the fuck

[StollandSon]

In the first minute, we hear of JJ's monkeys. Well seriously how depressing of a person do you have to be to have your monkey hang himself. I mean, come on. The monkey hanged himself!?

I have always found it funny that JJ bred monkeys. Between that, the Wizard of Oz, MJ and Bubbles, and every single circus weirdo with a monkey on his shoulder, I've had enough of monkeys. Between the horrible music and JJ's lisp and the monkeys, I would have been out of PT quicker than you can say "thuithide".

if he where really smart, he'd take those grapes and turn it into wine, = money.

[clivedxb]

The first minute of this doco is one of the strangest things I have ever heard.
