It may now be over 45 years since cult leader Jim Jones conducted the mass suicide of nearly a thousand people in Guyana, but the events in Jonestown on November 18, 1978 still fascinate, baffle and horrify in equal measure today. A new three-part documentary seeks to resolve unanswered questions from the tragic incident, and here we're explaining how to watch "Cult Massacre: One Day In Jonestown" online — and exclusively on Hulu in the U.S.
"Cult Massacre: One Day In Jonestown" arrived on Hulu in the U.S. on June 17. International viewers can watch on Disney Plus.
• U.S. — Hulu (free trial) / Disney Plus Bundle (now) or National Geographic channel (from Aug. 14)
• Rest of the World — Disney Plus
Told over three 45-minute parts as the latest addition to the National Geographic's award winning "One Day in America" documentary franchise that has previously covered 9/11, "Cult Massacre: One Day In Jonestown" eschews the Jim Jones origin story to focus on what went on in his eponymous township in South America.
With the ostensible aim of building a utopian community in Guyana, Jones's spurious prophecies began to unravel when his shrouds of secrecy and clear evidence of abuse were unveiled by elopers and outsiders. Becoming increasingly desperate, the unbearably sad end to the cult is still to be fully understood.
Director Marian Mohamed — who won a BAFTA Television Award in 2021 for her documentary "Defending Digga D" — gathers together eyewitness testimony and rarely seen footage from inside Jonestown, as she interrogates the lead up to and events of that infamous day in 1978.
