  • Summary

  • In this deeply sobering episode of Scream and Sugar: Your True Crime Coffee Hour, we journey into the heart of one of the most chilling tragedies in modern history—the Jonestown Massacre. Under the charismatic and manipulative leadership of Jim Jones, the Peoples Temple promised a utopian society where equality and social justice reigned supreme. Drawn by this vision, thousands of followers followed Jones throughout America before seeking refuge in the remote jungles of Guyana to establish what they believed would be a sanctuary free from persecution and hardship.
    However, the dream quickly soured. Isolated from the outside world, the residents of Jonestown found themselves under Jones’s increasingly authoritarian control. As reports of abuse and coercion emerged, concern grew among those who had loved ones in the commune. From the hopeful beginnings of the Peoples Temple to the ultimate tragedy in Guyana, we’ll explore how a dream of paradise became a nightmare.
    In Pt III, Candace takes us through what happens in Guyana, with the ultimate payment by the church members at the end.
    Grab your coffee and sip with us as we look at blind faith, power, and the devastating cost of the Jonestown Massacre.
