В ноябре 1978 года весь мир был потрясен, узнав о страшном конце возглавлявшейся Джимом Джонсом секты «Народный храм». На жутких кадрах, помещенных в ведущих средствах массовой информации, были запечатлены тела мужчин, женщин и детей, в неестественных позах лежащие на поляне посреди тропического леса. Мертвые тела. Всего 912 человек. Они уверовали в своего лидера и последовали за ним в джунгли Гайаны, где приступили к строительству идеального города, названного по имени руководителя секты Джонстауном, а затем подчинились его приказу совершить самоубийство, выпив яд, или по меньшей мере не слишком сопротивлялись, когда им стреляли в затылок. Мнения детей не спрашивал никто: младенцам раствор впрыскивали в рот пипетками. Дети постарше доверчиво выпивали поднесенный им матерями сладкий напиток в одноразовых бумажных стаканчиках. Выпивали, чтобы через несколько секунд забиться в конвульсиях от страшных болей, раздиравших их внутренности, а затем затихнуть навсегда.

Nevertheless, the work’s neutral position remains and viewers have to interpret the objectively presented situations for themselves. The main characteristics of this strongly authentic movie include close contact with the protagonists, precise editing, and an effectively controlled release of information.
