Some Place That Hope Runs Out
In the final episode of Promised Land, we begin with the infamous "death tape," a chilling audio recording capturing Jim Jones’ final address, urging his followers towards "revolutionary suicide." Amidst the chaos, the tape reveals the heart-wrenching pleas and final moments of over 900 men, women, and children. We also explore the immediate aftermath, as the world grappled with the magnitude of the tragedy. Written by Angela Kehoe Narrated by Ian Kehoe All audio clips credited to the Jonestown Institute.
