Jim Van Bebber

The Manson Family (10th Anniversary Edition) Jim Van Bebber

Biopic of the notorious Charles Manson and his followers, who were responsible for the murder of actress Sharon Tate in 1969. Shot in a faux-documentary style, the film follows Manson (Marcelo Games) as he is released from prison in 1967 for a minor offence and makes his way to San Francisco and the Summer of Love. Once there, Manson establishes a hippie commune that rapidly degenerates into an orgy of drugs and sex as his forceful personality begins to dominate.

Meanwhile, in 1996, reporter Jack Wilson (Carl Day) is researching a story on the cult, and finds himself being stalked by a latter-day group of Manson devotees.
