What is Jonestown like today? Were there any survivors of Jonestown and if so who were they? Did anyone stand up to Jim Jones? Today we are covering part two of the the Jonestown Massacre in Guyana. We are covering the stories of the brave souls of Christine Miller, Odell Rhodes and Catherine “Hyacinth” Thrash.
