Powers Booth in the 1980 made-for-TV movie “The Guyana Story” was absolutely, fabulously great. It is well worth the watch if only for his performance, but I am also pretty sure that as a docu-drama, it’s pretty accurate with regard to Jim Jones. It’s a damned good thing he isn’t alive now!!
Make that “The Guyana Tragedy,” that was the official title.
Powers Booth was amazing in that role. He was more like Jim Jones was than JJ himself! shivers
It was pretty good for a made-for-TV movie.
Boothe deserved that Emmy. He did one hell of a job.
