If you guys haven’t seen Powers Boothe as Jim Jones in ‘Guyana Tragedy’ you really should. I highly recommend it. He was amazing and deserved that Emmy.

Did he get an Emmy for that? I hope so. It is truly an incredible production, and Powers Boothe is beyond great in it. It’s also very accurate as to the reality of what went down. No need to dramatize much — it was already pretty dramatic in real-time story. I remember well when it happened, and I’ve gone back and re-researched the articles of the day in library files. The movie Guyana Story pretty much nails it. And it’s pretty clear, if I remember correctly, that Jones’ political connectons were Democrats and liberals.

He was so good, that to this day whenever I see him in a movie, I still see him as Jim Jones.

Unfortunately, Boothe has lately been typecast, but anyone interested in seeing him working within in his potential range really should see ‘Tragedy’. I think he does us as great a service as did Duval in portraying Stalin.
