Did the CIA Help Charles Manson Control His Family’s Minds? Errol Morris’ ‘CHAOS: The Manson Murders’ Attempts to Find Out
Did the CIA help Charles Manson control his family's minds? Errol Morris' “CHAOS: The Manson Murders" attempts to find out.
Based on Tom O’Neill’s 2019 book “CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties,” the film explores the covert motives that may have sparked the 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders. People are deeply fascinated by that crime, not just because it was so violent and so repulsive and involved celebrities, but because no one could figure out how Manson was able to convince these members of the family to kill for him. In the doc, O’Neill criticizes Vincent Bugliosi’s “Helter Skelter,” the best-selling crime book in history.
