An uncompromising look at the Manson Family cult, hell-bent on executing the brutal vision of its leader, Charles Manson. On a ranch outside of Los Angeles, what was once an oasis of free love and acid trips, the "Family," an "average" group of kids, becomes engulfed in Manson's paranoid visions and delusional world where torment and slaughter are considered the path to righteousness. The director portrays a dizzying, rapid-fire vision of the sex and violence that unified the misguided group and ended in a brutal murder spree that left seven people dead in 48 hours
