Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones is a 1980 Made-for-TV Movie centered on Jim Jones from his childhood up to his death following his leadership of Peoples Temple. Unlike the later documentaries Jonestown and Jonestown: Paradise Lost, it's more of a fictionalized take on events (although it does contain many of the most important parts of the story) with some characters who are equivalents to (or composites of) actual people involved with the Temple.Originally distributed by Telepictures for CBS where it was aired on April 15 and 16, 1980 in two parts, the movie has since largely faded into obscurity with few re-airings and video releases after the fact.

Only Sane Man: Richard Jefferson is one of the few Temple members who is shown to be well aware of Jones' corrupt behaviour and the poor quality of life in Jonestown.

Foregone Conclusion: Expository text at the beginning of both parts mentions Jim Jones' date of death.

Nothing Left to Do but Die: After Leo Ryan's inspection of the compound and resulting assassination, Jim Jones orders that everyone in his congregation must take their lives to evade what he feels will lead to further torment.
