Poster has several red and black areas with jagged edges. In the black and red areas are white outlines of people laying face down. Some are hugging each other and others and some have dogs by them. Verso has more of the same people lying and an outline of a pill bottle, syringe and a plane. This cryptic broadsheet/poster appears to refer to the 1978 mass suicides/murders at the People's Temple compound in Jonestown, Guyana orchestrated by the Reverend Jim Jones.[LMC]
