“CHAOS: The Manson Murders” is an upcoming 2025 documentary directed by Errol Morris, premiering on Netflix on March 7.

The film delves into alternative theories surrounding the infamous 1969 Tate–LaBianca murders committed by the Manson Family, challenging the official narrative presented by prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi in his book “Helter Skelter.”
Drawing from Tom O’Neill’s investigative work, “CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties,” the documentary explores potential connections between the Manson murders and covert government operations. It examines the possibility of links to CIA activities, mind control experiments like MK-ULTRA, and figures such as Jack Ruby.
By re-examining the established account of the Manson Family’s crimes, Morris’s film seeks to shed light on the complex and potentially concealed aspects of this dark chapter in American history.
