Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple (2006)

This is the first documentary that I ever had to pause and take an emotional break from. I had no idea there was as much footage and audio taken of the actual event. A deep disturbing look at how religion, charisma, and paranoia took the lives of 900 people. Eye opening.
