It's a documentary about Charles Manson and one of the most infamous crimes in American history, the Tate-LaBianca murders of August 1969. Charlie Manson was a pimp and petty criminal who got out of California's Terminal Island prison in 1967 and found himself in San Francisco during the "summer of love." Within a short amount of time he had branded himself a religious guru and acquired a motley group of followers which he plied with drugs and sex and entertained with tales of a "Helter Skelter" race war which would end with Manson's "Family" ruling the world.The orgies and acid trips ended with nine murders in August 1969: first musician Gary Hinman, then five people at the home of Sharon Tate a few days later, then wealthy older couple Leno and Rosemary LaBianca the day after that, then ranch hand Donald "Shorty" Shea. The trial would be one of the biggest stories in American jurisprudence, not rivaled in terms of media attention until the O.J. Simpson trial a quarter-century later.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Merrick and Hendrickson did not interview anyone convicted in the Tate-LaBianca killings, although they did get ahold of an interview Charles Manson had with Jerry Rubin, which is included in the film. Nor did they interview the prosecution's star witness Linda Kasabian.note Kasabian never wrote any book and has spoken about the murders outside of courtrooms only three times: a 1988 TV interview, a 2008 TV documentary that featured her in voiceover, and a 2009 TV interview. People that they did manage to interview for the film include:
