Focuses on four women in Jim Jones' inner circle who helped plan the 1978 Jonestown Massacre, the murder-suicide pact which left 918 people dead, including more than 300 children.
This special explores the influence that Jones' wife Marceline and mistresses Carolyn Layton, Maria Katsaris and Annie Moore had on The People's Temple and its tragic end.
Drawing on exclusive interviews with survivors and family members, including Jones' son, as well as never-before-seen archival footage, photos, audio recordings, and the women's personal letters, the documentary gives an intimate look into their roles within the church from its earliest days in Indiana to its expansion into northern California and finally its disastrous end in the secluded jungle of Guyana.
