The story

In 1977, Reverend James Johnson, the fanatical and paranoid leader of an independent San Francisco church, moves his thousand-strong congregation to the jungles of Guyana. There, they will create their own utopia, free from the so-called corruption of the civilized world. Life at the commune, called "Johnsontown", becomes unbearable as Johnson turns to cruelty to keep his followers in line.
