About this listen

Charles Manson didn’t pull the trigger. He didn’t swing the knife. But he convinced others to kill for him — and they did. A Scary Ringmaster who turned hippies into killers. In the summer of 1969, a failed musician and self-proclaimed prophet manipulated a group of young followers and hippies into committing some of the most brutal murders in American history. This is the story of the cult that called him “God,” the Hollywood elite who crossed paths with him, and the nights that changed Los Angeles forever.

A mix of mind control, LSD, broken dreams, and twisted ambition — the Manson Family was a cult disguised as a commune. Their crimes weren’t just murders — they were messages. Written in blood.

This documentary reveals the full truth:
🔪 What happened on Cielo Drive and Waverly Place
🧠 How Manson turned self-help books into a control system
🎸 The shocking connection to the Beach Boys 💀 The forgotten victims' history left behind
⚖️ The trial that became a circus — and defined a decade.

He wanted to be famous. He ultimately became a symbol of evil. This is the story of Charles Manson — and the people who killed in his name.
