Charles Manson: Superstar


This is a really well researched documentary exploring the Charles Manson mythos, which does a fine job of neither demonizing nor glorifying the man. A very interesting study into how we’ve turned this individual into a pop culture figure of sorts. The documentary centers around a thoroughly engaging interview with Manson himself conducted in prison during the 80’s. If you have even a passing curiosity in the myth of Charles Manson, and the various curiosities surrounding the Tate-Labianca murders, this is an incredibly informative (and unfortunately rare and out of print) film.
