Jim Jones the rapper's father is Puerto Rican but Jim Jones the cult leader's dad was a white guy.
Thank you for your patience I can't read.

Its what they get for listening to white folks
I watched an interview on Oprah a few years ago from a teen survivor that's now an adult. He was probably in his 40's at the time he was interviewed. He said that their were a few that were held at gunpoint with rifles and told to drink the Kool aid or die.

A few were getting shot for trying to escape. This dude is more Sinister than Charles Manson. Both were sociopaths but on the grand scale, Jim's followers were convinced into killing others.

Some of the church members complained to relatives in the US that Jones was drug addicted and was keeping them from leaving under threat of death. In November 1978, Congressman Leo Ryan led a fact-finding mission to Jonestown, to determine if the reports of sexual slavery, death threats and other stories of mistreatment were true. After three days of interviewing the residents, Ryan’s party started to leave, taking along with them 20 People Temple members who also wanted to leave, and drove to the airstrip near Jonestown. As they were boarding the airplane, a truckload of Jones’ guards arrived and began shooting at the Ryan party. Killed were Congressman Ryan, a reporter from NBC News, two photographers, and one of the defectors. Several others ran into the jungle to escape the onslaught, while those remaining were taken back to Jonestown. At Jonestown, Jones called his congregation together, and ordered them to drink cyanide-laced Kool-aid. A total of 914 people died that day at Jonestown in a mass-suicide, including 276 children, although later investigation indicated a number of the people were murdered by shooting or by forced lethal injection. Jones himself was shot in the head while sitting in a deck chair. An autopsy on Jones revealed that he had a level of the barbiturate pentobarbital that would have killed a normal person, thus indicating that he had built up a long-term habit to using the drug. His son, Stephen Gandhi Jones, who was not present in Jonestown that day, would later confirm his father’s drug addiction. The US Army and the US Air Force mobilized graves registration teams to move the bodies back to the US for burial by their relatives, in a mass casualty operation.
Edit: It was his son. Mother was probably raped.

There have been like 10 actual film/TV dramatizations and more than a few movies that have been "inspired by" the Jonestown massacre like The Sacrament.
Studios will keep making it because it is a story that still captures the public's imagination.
ANd none of them will ever truly do it justice. Thats all i'm saying.:yeshrug:

A majority of those ppl killed were black. Pass.

Playing one of the worst people of the later half of the century ain't a good look Leo. I don't like the fact dude murdered mostly black people. fukk this movie.

Shouldn't be making this film in this climate of clout retardation.

They must need this movie to be influential. :leostare:

No hollywood film will ever be more horrifying than the actual documentary on this shyt.

imo this whole Jonestown saga is too raw to be acted out in a production film.

I get the message but this joint is a bit undercooked. Needs more time in the oven to make laugh consistently. Still feel like breh is stepping on the eggshells he cracked in the kitchen

:dwillhuh: Exact opposite.

im saying hollywood is too soft to pull the shyt off.

this is gonna be some polished mickey mouse shyt in comparison to what really happened.

Youre the one whos soft if youre hype for a bunch of models and pretty boys playing dressup in front of a 4k camera trying to act out some raw shyt :umad:
