@meridradocumentaries: On November 18, 1978, more than 900 people died at the remote Jonestown settlement in Guyana—including hundreds of children. Jonestown was created by the Peoples Temple, led by Jim Jones. After U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan traveled to Guyana to investigate reports of abuse, members of the settlement asked to leave with him. Ryan and four others were killed at a nearby airstrip. Hours later, the horrifying events at Jonestown unfolded, becoming one of the darkest chapters in modern American history. This is the story of Jonestown. Subscribe to MERIDRA for short documentaries about true crime, catastrophes, strange events, and dark moments in history.
