Before Jonestown became a punchline, Jim Jones built a movement in San Francisco. This episode focuses on the People's Temple's roots in the Bay Area - the idealism, the political power, and the slow unraveling of a man who started as a progressive force and became a murderer and cult leader. This is not just a story about Jonestown; it's a story about San Francisco, about how a city can be seduced by charisma, and about the price of unchecked power.
