This was so fascinating and creepy and sad. It was so interesting how Jones convinced people he really cared about equality and integration - and maybe he really did?! - and how you could see how people could believe in him.

I appreciated how much time was spent on his easy life and before the tragedy at Jonestown. The context makes it all the more awful and yet intriguing.
