In this gripping episode of The Miss Information Podcast, host Zee, aka The Reluctant Accountant, unpacks the heartbreaking story behind the Jonestown massacre in Guyana, nearly 50 years ago. Led by Jim Jones, almost 1,000 members of the People's Temple church perished in a tragic event that continues to haunt history.
Zee takes a unique approach by examining the massacre from the perspective of its victims. She provides insight into the racial tension and discord in the US that pushed many of them to seek refuge in what they believed would be a utopia in the jungles of Guyana. Why did these individuals feel compelled to leave everything behind? What was promised to them, and how did things go so horribly wrong?
This episode is a deep dive into the cultural, social, and psychological factors that shaped one of the most devastating tragedies of the 20th century. Tune in every Monday to The Miss Information Podcast for more eye-opening stories behind the headlines.
