Guyana
Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones
In this made for TV movie, Powers Booth
plays the infamous leader of the "People’s
Temple Cult," Jim Jones. 1,000 followers
give away their life savings to live with
the cult in Guyana. When the illegal activities
of Jones and his higher ups becomes known
and investigators began searching the property,
Jones decides to take himself and his followers
on the fast track to heaven by staging the
largest mass suicide in history. This film
depicts Jones' maniacal worldview and tragic
end in graphic fashion. Booth’s performance
as Jones has long been revered as his absolute
best and the supporting cast, made up of
such veterans as Ned Beatty, Randy Quaid
and James Earl Jones, is equally good.
