The true story behind CHAOS: The Manson Murders explored
In 1969, Charles Manson masterminded one of the most horrifying murder sprees in US history. He led a cult-like group primarily composed of young women who were completely influenced by him.
Driven by a warped belief in an upcoming racial war he called "Helter Skelter," Manson convinced his followers that carrying out brutal murders was the only way to spark this violent conflict.
Manson's followers killed actress Sharon Tate and her four friends, Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring, Wojciech Frykowski, and Steven Parent, on August 8, 1969. It is worth noting that at the time of her murder, Tate was eight months pregnant with her and her husband Roman Polanski's child.
Just days after killing Tate and her friends at her Los Angeles home, Manson's followers killed Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary.
The brutal murders sent shockwaves across the country and as the police investigated the killings, they discovered that Manson and his followers were behind them. They also found out that the Manson Family saw the murders as the beginning of a racial war. Following this, Manson and several members of his group were arrested, and in 1971, they were sentenced to death.
However, in 1972, the California Supreme Court declared the death penalty unconstitutional, and their sentences were commuted to life in prison.

Morris spoke to Tudum about his upcoming documentary, noting that while he found himself "trapped in a number of different true crime stories," there was something about the Manson murders. Calling them "peculiar," he said that the murders could be encapsulated in one question of how Manson managed to "convince people around him that killing was okay."
