Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple airs Monday, April 9th on most PBS stations (also available on DVD).

Stanley Nelson

Stanley Nelson's documentary tells a story we still need to see.  That shows we need to look at any leader or movement critically no matter how good their politics seem.

Nelson's website has a screening kit.  He made an excellent documentary about the Black Press.

  Also, this interview Nelson did a year ago with former San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Matt Gonzalez.

A San Francisco Chronicle series from 1998.
