Jonestown

Since I realised that there are many non portuguese speakers visting this post on my blog, I am going to translate it to English so you won't feel frustrated for not understanding it. Hope you think it's useful.

Sometimes, without expecting it, you can discover something truly great. It happened last night when I saw Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple, an amazing and truly shocking documentary. It was especially shocking because I had never heard about this church and its sad ending and because this story shows that reality is sometimes even stranger than fiction. For those who, like me until yesterday, never heard  about Jim Jones, Peoples Temple and Jonestown, you can find information about the events that led to the suicide/assassination of more than 900 men, women and children in the links highlighted in the portuguese version of the text.

Às vezes sem querer fazemos grandes descobertas. Foi assim ontem à noite quando apanhei Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple um documentário espectacular e verdadeiramente chocante. Chocante para mim porque nunca tinha ouvido falar desta seita nem do seu triste fim e porque esta história é daquelas que comprova que a vida ultrapassa muitas vezes a ficção. Para quem que, como eu até ontem, nunca tinha ouvido falar de Jim Jones, da Peoples Temple e de Jonestown, pode ficar a saber tudo sobre os eventos que levaram ao assassinato/suícidio de mais de 900 homens, mulheres e crianças aqui, e ver o trailer aqui.
