In the 1960s, Reverend Jim Jones began as an idealist helping minorities and working against racism.

With a loyal following of over 1,000, who donated their entire life savings to him and to join his commune, he moves them to Guyana. When possible crimes come to the attention of the authorities, and once notified that some individuals are being held against their will, an investigation begins.
