Making Manson is about the cult leader Charles Manson
Charles Mansion is one of the most infamous people in the world. He is known for creating a cult, whose members went on two nights of killing spree in August 1969. He admittedly ordered his followers to carry out horrific violence to innocent victims including actor Sharon Tata, who was 81/2 weeks pregnant at the time of her murder.
The next night, his followers killed the grocery store business owners Leno and Rosemary LaBianca. The motive behind these killings was to ignite race wars, known as Helter Skelter, by pinning the murders on black Americans.
In the documentary series, over 100 hours of recorded conversation would reveal new information about the cult leader, who has been the subject of more than 20 films, books, and documentaries. The series also includes interviews with former cult members and the family members of the victim.
