By Canadian standards, this is a gem. By virtually any other standards, this is the televisual epitome of BASIC. The dramatic reenactments are laughable, more reminiscent of a cheesy movie of the week than the tragic story it attempts to portray. The guy playing Jim Jones is terrible; apparently his direction was, "Okay, I want you to do this role as though you're doing a play at a nursing home for a group of visually impaired and hearing impaired senior citizens. Oh, and it's an hour past their bedtime so you've got to be able to keep them awake. Trust me. It'll be great."
