The Jonestown Defense

THE JONESTOWN DEFENSE is an American independent feature film about Christopher Waite, a Sarasota businessman living on the Florida Gulf Coast in the spring of 2009, who is struggling with both a collapsed economy and a personal life in free-fall. Over the next four days, Christopher will face the onerous task of firing the employees of the company he manages, the dissolution of close friendships, the ruin of his marriage and the potential loss of his son. THE JONESTOWN DEFENSE tells the story of how personal narcissism and professional corruption nearly destroy a man who believes he's fighting for financial survival, but in the end discovers that what is truly at risk is his soul.
