Here is actual audio from Jim Jones' final sermon, just moments before the suicidal acts that took 900+ followers took place. While he does speak with a lisp, his message was no laughing matter. Until 9/11 this was the greatest single event as far as killing Americans goes.




This next video shows several short clips of film taken by the NBC camera crew that accompanied Leo Ryan into Jonestown. The repetitive music in the background was regularly played by Jones and the audio clip is taken from Jones' final suicide speech. The clips show to an extent what everyday life was like to members of The People's Temple, although the seemingly enjoyable exterior does nothing for the rough underbelly that was eventually exposed.




This video is a 2003 news reel commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Jonestown tragedy. It focuses at first on Jones, and how he came to be a cult leader in the jungle of Guyana, and then focuses on Congressman Leo Ryan, and his visit and eventual death at the Guyana airstrip.




Here are a few clips directly taken from the documentary "Jonestown: The Life and Death of People's Temple". Former members/survivors of the People's Temple talk about Jones' and the some of his sexual nuances as well as his master manipulative powers.
