i will never forget this film or the event that lead up to jonestown in guyana . it just seem so tragic but need to be tell . power boothe give a commanding performance a the leader rev . jim jones from obscurity until total madness . it would have win him an academy award easily if it be release in the movie theater . it be the kind of mini series you would not forget . you would not forget the image of the cult brutality and control and and obsessiveness of it leader . his rise and fall and the threat from the outside world to destroy what he consider to be paradise . the mass suicide be horrify and almost unreal to anybody imagination a to why so many people ( 900 plus ) go willingly or resist jones order . they do not make mini series like these anymore where be leave with out mouth open and hungry to know what happen to the others .
