Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones is a well-made biographical account of the infamous cult leader, and features a harrowing performance from Powers Boothe.

A chilling and accurate account of what happens when a cult gets out of control. I had a memorable nightmare after having watched this movie back when I was a kid. I still think fondly of this TV-movie for this reason.

This film might be a chilling,terrifying and yet true account of Jim Jone's life but it feels way too long. I totally agree with the Time article which says:"There really is no point in recounting the minutiae of a madman's life if, after four hours, it is still impossible to understand how Jones became a sex-and-drug-crazed megalomaniac or why his misfit followers so easily accepted his larcenous and sadistic behavior." Maybe I will watch the Sacrament sometime soon.
