About this movie

The documentary, narrated by musician and director Rob Zombie, focuses on the Manson family murders told from Manson's perspective using never-before-seen case files, pictures and exclusive interviews with Manson himself from inside California State Prison conducted over the last year of his life. The new evidence corroborates Manson's personal account of the events surrounding the murders and Charles Manson: The Final Words presents a potential alternative theory as to why and how the horrific crimes were committed leading viewers to question how the cases ultimately unfolded. Manson: The Final Words includes Manson's eerie and disturbing conversations about modern society, justice, his decades behind bars, the Bernard Crowe shooting and the murders along with digitally restored audio recordings from the original investigations to reconstruct a path of events that led to the brutal slayings of movie star Sharon Tate and four of her friends on August 8, 1969 in addition to the murders of Gary Hinman and Donald "Shorty" Shea. The documentary also includes compelling new interviews with members of the Manson family which reveal never-before-heard details that help uncover the real story and motives behind the grisly murder spree. Viewers will hear from accused Manson family members Bobby Beausoleil, Barbara Hoyt and Catherine "Cappy" Gillies along with prosecutor Stephen Kay, defense attorney Gary Fleischman, music producer Phil Kaufman as well as other investigators and authors. Manson: The Final Words is produced by Pyramid Productions.

Ratings and reviews

This is amongst the best and most honest documentary made about Charles Manson. I know what we all once believed about Charles Manson and Helter Skelter, and this would be a good starting point in finding the truth. I started with this and over quite some time this took me into many many weeks of researching other things on this subject. Ironically the deeper you look the more proof you find that everything you once thought you knew about Charles Manson and Helter Skelter was false. I'm not here to say that Charles Manson was some angel, but then again neither were the people who prosecuted and convicted him, both in the courtroom and out of it. If you're into True Crime and someone who does search for the truth then I would highly recommend this. I could write a list of books and or sites videos Etc, but that would take forever to list here, so probably one of the easiest way to get this information involving Charles Manson would be to check out "the stoner van Houten show" on U-tube. This will get you in the right direction. I still would have advised doing in-depth Google searches but this could take a lot of time in weeding out the best from the worst. Again this is for those who search for the real truth. It's actually almost scary when you put the pieces together and realized what really happened with this case. Again I'm not saying he's fully innocent and some angel but in the United States of America the court of law should be upheld for everybody, including people like Charles Manson. In the same way that if you're gay, black, Arabic, no matter what your religion is no matter if you have long hair, tattoos and ride a motorcycle, no matter what we should have a fair trial.
