Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones, also called The Mad Messiah,[1] is a 1980 television miniseries about the Peoples Temple led by Jim Jones, and their 1978 mass suicide at Jonestown. Based on the book by Charles A. Krause, entitled Guyana Massacre: The Eyewitness Account, the film was originally shown on television on April 15, 1980.
This dramatic feature traces the story of Jim Jones and the People’s Temple from its roots in Indianapolis in 1953 to the November 16, 1978 tragic mass suicide of more than 900 people in Jonestown, Guyana.
Sparked by rumors from renegade members, Congressman Leo Ryan goes to Jonestown to investigate reports of bad conditions and members being held against their will. With him are members of the press and a few relatives of Jonestown residents. Ryan’s visit only increases Jones’ paranoia, and only one of his blindly devoted followers ambushes Ryan’s party at the airstrip as they are preparing lo leave.
Jones, who knows his movement has reached the end, congregates his people (many of them unwilling) for mass suicide.
