GUYANA TRAGEDY: THE STORY OF JIM JONES (1980) wasn't the first attempt to depict the mass suicide/murder undertaken by the Jones-led Peoples Temple: Universal Pictures managed to get their star-sprinkled exploitation pickup, GUYANA: CULT OF THE DAMNED, into American theaters four months earlier. But this made-for-television event (shown over two nights) was the first serious look at Jones' life from childhood to tragedy. Featuring an Emmy-winning turn from Powers Boothe and a cast that included eight Oscar nominees, its quality is even more impressive when you realize that it aired a mere 17 months following the actual event
