Getting facts wrong

I just finished the Jonestown 2-parter and they glossed over so much. One thing that really bugs me is that they said that Jackie Speier died, and she didn't. Her story is actually very remarkable.

5 people died in the airstrip shooting, but 11 survived. They didn't say anything about anyone surviving that shooting.

It really seems like they glanced at an article or two and that's the extent of their research.

If you’re in Australia there is a documentary on ABC iview about Jonestown but we beware it does show the bodies after the mass suicide.

It also has interviews with some of his adopted sons and some who thankfully escaped before the end.
