Stephan Jones confronts legacy of Jim Jones and Jonestown
Stephan Jones, son of Jim Jones, reflects on his father’s rule and the Jonestown massacre. He recalls a turbulent childhood, the split between public image and private life, and his own struggle with leadership, anger, and truth after escaping the Temple’s grip. He recounts early happiness in Jonestown and the slow collapse under drug use and control.
