The Jonestown massacre, one of the largest mass murders in American history, led by Jim Jones in 1978, is revisited in new docu-series like "Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown" on Hulu and National Geographic. It explores the tragic events through survivor accounts, archival footage, and recordings of Jim Jones, highlighting the shift in storytelling to focus solely on survivor perspectives. The series aims to redefine the understanding of the tragedy, moving away from the cult narrative to emphasize the complexities and societal views of the victims. Director Marian Mohamed emphasizes the importance of survivor testimonials and archival footage in presenting a fresh perspective on historical events.
