Storyville: Jonestown – Terror in the Jungle
9pm, BBC Four
When more than 900 adults and children died in 1978 at Jim Jones’s Peoples Temple in Guyana, it sparked rightful shock and outrage as to how so many people could have become brainwashed. This thorough and harrowing two-part doc examines Jones’s rise from fervent San Francisco preacher for wayward youth in the late 1960s to cult leader who was forced to flee the US. A deeply disturbing account of the destructive potential of belief. Ammar Kalia
