'Jonestown' is portrait of disturbed cult leader [audio 6min]

It has been almost 30 years since the mass suicide at Jonestown, Guyana, shocked the world. More than 900 people -- men, women and children alike -- followed the call of their religious leader and guru, the Rev. Jim Jones, and killed themselves by drinking Kool-Aid laced with cyanide at the cult's sprawling compound in Central America. The images of the piles of bodies rotting in the sun found at the compound were seared into the consciousness of a generation, and spawned the phrase"drank the Kool-Aid" -- meaning a willing, blind devotion to a cause or person, even unto death. Now a new documentary, Jonestown: Life and Death of the People's Temple, aims to illustrate how devotion to the San Francisco-based cult led to one of the most horrific events in modern history. The film includes interviews with former members of the People's Temple, and relatives of the group's charismatic leader. One of the most disturbing parts of the film features interviews with childhood friends of Jones. Report by Karen Grisby Bates. ~Website offers video clip.
