Just scored this Jim Jones Integrity shirt, which may be particularly offensive to wear around here as The People’s Temple was Headquartered down the street.
My fascination with Jim Jones is more about how people who are so desperate to change the world around them are so quick and willing to surrender reason.
Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple (Netflix and Google Video) is a good starting point if somehow you are unfamiliar…
that movie was terrifying. we saw it at the plaza in the upstairs xxx theater. laurel has a huge book about jones called ‘raven.’ it looks pretty awesome.
I remember seeing the Powers Boothe “Guyana Tragedy” movie when I was a kid and having nightmares for weeks. I will definitely check out this documentary via Netflix.
That shirt is amazing! I have also been fascinated by Jones for a long time. I highly recommend that “Raven” book, you won’t be able to put it down!
