Summary

In 1969, Charles Manson and his Family made headlines worldwide, the main suspects in the brutal murders of a Hollywood actress and four others. Initially dismissed as an unhinged cult leader, as the police dug deeper into Manson's past, they discovered that he had spent the previous three years pursuing a career as a singer-songwriter--and got remarkably close to the highest level of the music business. This documentary reveals the full, untold story of Manson's obsession to become a rock star. Investigating his rise in the LA music scene and his relationships with major stars of the era--including The Byrds' producer Terry Melcher, Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson, and many others--this film uncovers the dark connections between Manson's musical activities and the murders that would make him famous.
