Based on a real event: a religious fanatic who calls himself Father Johnson gathers his followers and moves with them to Guyana to found "The People's Temple," a self-managed and self-sufficient community under his total control. When the American authorities decide to intervene to try to free the followers from the game of submission of the false saint, he orders a collective suicide... A fairly faithful account of the terrible bloodshed that occurred in 1978 in Guyana, which saw the collective suicide of nearly a thousand followers of Father Johnson's sect. Directed with a documentary style by Cardona ("The Bermuda Triangle"), the film, interesting mainly from a "historical" point of view, benefits from the good performances of Yvonne De Carlo and Joseph Cotten.
