I found a version of the infamous "Death Tape" over at Google Vidoes. It contains the entire 45-minutes of Jim Jones' last speech to The Peoples Temple on November 18th 1978. I only managed to listen to 20 minutes of it due to time restrictions but what I heard did sound quite haunting and surreal. It's eerie to know that everyone you hear on the tape dies within less than an hour.
Some of the members seem pleased with what Jones is saying about how they should all die in peace. One guy even takes the microphone and says that he is ready to die for him.
The video also contains stock footage and photos of Jim Jones and Peoples Temple, as well as Jonestown. So it is an interesting video to watch as it shows footage of him performing "miracles" and going out to Guyana to look at the location. I think this would be an interesting clip to show during our presentation, even if it's just a minute or two (I know it all depends on how much time we have though).
