How to watch "Cult Massacre: A Day in Jonestown" Online: Stream the documentary now

It may be more than 45 years since cult leader Jim Jones committed a mass suicide of nearly 1,000 people in Guyana, but the events in Jonestown in 1978-11-18 are just as fascinating, puzzling and frightening today. The new 3-part documentary seeks to solve unsolved questions from the tragic incident, and here we turn on "Cult Massacre: A Day in Jonestown"

as the latest addition to the National Geographic award-winning "One Day in America" documentary franchise that has previously covered 9/11. As told part of more than 45 minutes, "Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown" avoids the origin story of Jim Jones to focus on what happened in his eponymous town in South America.

With the ostensible purpose of building a utopian community in Guyana, Jones's false prophecies began to unravel when clear evidence of his cover-up and abuse was revealed by elopers and outsiders. Becoming more and more desperate, the excruciating sad end to the cult should still be fully understood.

Director Marian Mohamed, who won the BAFTA TV Award in 2021 for his documentary Defending Digga D, gathers eyewitness testimony and rarely seen footage from within Jonestown as he interrogates the beginning and events of that infamous day in 1978.
