Manson reveals the cruelty he suffered in reform school and the childhood experiences that made him who he was. Former “Family” members listen to the exclusive conversations and are taken back to the time when they “would do anything for Charlie.” Manson recounts the early crimes that led to the murder spree in the summer of ‘69, laying out an explanation of loyalty and brotherhood that pushes against the accepted motive: his desire to incite Helter Skelter. In the final moments before his death, Manson reflects on his life in prison and shows rare tenderness for the man who spoke to him across the decades.
“Making Manson” is directed by Billie Mintz. Executive producers are Max Welch, Kate Maddigan, Tim Withers and Duane Jones (“Deadly Waters with Captain Lee,” “My Son Jeffrey: The Dahmer Tapes,” “Loving Elvis,” “Copwatch America”) for Renowned Films.
