A Revolutionary Cause

Episode two looks at Father Devine, his Peace Mission, and the impact he had on Jim Jones. Jim would use Father Devine's model to mold The Peoples Temple, and make real change for race relations in Indianapolis - only to abruptly leave the US for Brazil. We also take a look at Jim's manipulation of the Vietnam War, the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and his infidelity towards Marceline.
