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. In Pt I, Candace will take us through the early life of Jones, and add in a little personal flavor from her own experiences with a cult.
However, the dream quickly soured. Isolated from the outside world, the residents of Jonestown found themselves under Jones’s increasingly tyrannical 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.
Grab your coffee and sip with us as we look at blind faith, power, and the devastating cost of the Jonestown Massacre. Today's coffee was sent to us by our amazing listener, Sal! Thank you Sal! The coffee is called Cafe du Cemetary from Sacred Grinds in New Orleans!
