Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple

This documentary was a bit more difficult to understand, possibly because the kind of manipulation these people were under seems so obvious yet clearly was very devious. Use of a lot of speech recordings. I appreciated the end credits where it showed the people being interviewed surrounded by the lights and the microphones, made you aware of the conditions the people were talking in. It's strange the transition of this documentary because you mentally change your mind as the people in his church did. At the beginning I thought 'wow great, what a great idea, a racially equal society that looked after the elderly, and who's kids seem healthy and happy, what could go wrong'. Then slowly throughout the film the accounts begin to be tainted by Jim Jones offering to have sex with them etc. I think because of the amount of death this documentary affected me less then cat dancers. Call me cold hearted I dare ya.
