Did the CIA help Charles Manson control his family's minds? Errol Morris' “CHAOS: The Manson Murders" attempts to find out.

The movie is credited as an adaptation of Tom O’Neill’s book Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, a sprawling, occasionally off-the-rails investigation that eventually ties Manson to the U.

The Manson Murders' explores alternative theories to the 'Helter Skelter' narrative, including possible government ties to Charles Manson.

Errol Morris' film is built around the theory that Charles Manson learned mind-control techniques from the CIA. But guess what? There's no evidence.

Errol Morris' new documentary pulls from Tom O'Neill's 2019 book, which disputes much of what we know about the Manson Family.

Academy Award-winning director and producer Errol Morris joins Morning Joe to discuss the new Netflix documentary 'Chaos: The Manson Murders.'

The filmmaker’s Netflix documentary has the feel of a paranoid thriller as it examines the possible connections between the Manson family and the covert operations of the CIA and FBI in the 1960s.

Tom O'Neill was commissioned by Hollywood-centric film magazine Premiere to investigate exactly what had - by then - happened a mere 30 years earlier, when a small-time criminal, Charles Manson, was unveiled as the mastermind behind one of the most brutal and defining crimes of the 20th century.
