Notorious Killers: Charles Manson

Notorious Killers: Charles Manson Synopsis

His crimes shocked the nation and paralysed Los Angeles with fear. His trial was one of the most stunning spectacles in the history of justice, and the wild-eyed killer became synonymous with evil. In two nights in 1969, Charles Manson and a ragged band of followers rewrote the standards of criminal brutality, killing seven people including actress Sharon Tate in the cruelest ways imaginable. When the killers were finally caught, the nation was introduced to the small, bizarre, ex-con who was the guru of a ragtag "family." In riveting interviews, Manson and "family" members speak out. Charles Manson and "Squeaky" Fromme are still unapologetic for what happened, but Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten understand fully now what they did and express it forcefully and eloquently.

Notorious Killers: Charles Manson is a documentary and crime film with a runtime of 44m.
