Manson: The Lost Tapes

Fifty years after the Manson Family murders, this shocking cult continues to capture the public imagination, with countless films, television series and books examining it. 

This documentary features never-before-seen intimate footage of the Manson 'family' members that has been hidden for decades and provides deeply chilling insights into the workings of this ultimately deadly cult. 

For two years after the conviction of Charles Manson and the cult members responsible for the murder of seven people, including the eight-month-pregnant actress Sharon Tate, in a brutally violent killing spree, young filmmaker Robert Hendrickson filmed the cult members who remained free. 

The 1973 documentary he made was banned, and the footage he produced has remained unseen, until now. This shocking, unbelievable documentary gives us an unprecedented glimpse into the horrifying context of this seminal Hollywood story.

Manson: The Lost Tapes® from 5 January, Fridays at 8:50PM, Openview eReality Channel 109.
