Errol Morris Explores Manson Murders and CIA Mind Control in Netflix Documentary

The new film, 'CHAOS: The Manson Murders,' examines theories linking Charles Manson's influence to the CIA's MKUltra program.

Errol Morris, a pioneer of the true crime documentary genre, directs 'CHAOS: The Manson Murders,' now streaming on Netflix.
The documentary is based on journalist Tom O'Neill's book, which explores potential connections between the Manson murders and the CIA's MKUltra mind control program.
While the film presents theories of CIA involvement, it stops short of endorsing them, leaving viewers with lingering questions about Manson's ability to manipulate his followers.
The documentary combines archival footage, interviews, and creative visual elements but takes a relatively straightforward approach compared to Morris' earlier works.
Despite the saturation of Manson-related media, 'CHAOS' offers an intriguing perspective on the infamous crimes and their broader cultural implications.
