An average group of kids, the "Family," become engulfed in a delusional world where torment and slaughter are considered the path to righteousness.Director Jim VanBebber (Deadbeat at Dawn) delivers a dizzying, rapid-fire vision of the sex and violence that unifies the misguided group, a group hell-bent on executing the brutal vision of its leader, Charles Manson. You've seen the story through the eyes of the law. Now witness it through the eyes of THE MANSOSN FAMILY.

It was kind of scary.

He said all these

really nice things to me.

Then when he

started to come...

he got real tense.

And then he climaxed

and I came but...

I got all...

tense.

It was like,

I couldnt move my arms

for about a minute at all.

I was paralyzed.

It was real scary.

Thats because

your ego was dying.

Until you give of

yourself completely,

and your egos dead,

you cant be at the now.

See what Im saying?

But it happens, you know.

Stop this nonsense.

Dont carry this on any more.

Youre exciting the children.

No, no sorrow that its over.

Im glad its over.

Hurry, hurry my

children, hurry.

Hold it down, weve got time.

Its an act of suicide,

commit an act of

revolutionary suicide.

We are now at

the end of reason.

We are motion itself.

We are eternal revolution.

If you get behind the

wheel youll kill us both!

Now give me the keys.

Give me the keys,

Ill be back in the morning.

No.

Give them to me.

No, Ill take us home.

Cmon have a drink.

I gotta go home.

Thanks for nothing!

Im sorry.

Hey Simi,

whats the matter?

Nothing.

Do you want some of this?

Hunh-uh.

Tex was trying

to please Charlie.

What are you doing?

Come here.

Charlie loved it

when they brought young

girls into the Family.

Young Love

is what he called it.

Go get me some young love.

Hey, Ill take you home,

Ill take you home.

Dont worry about it.

Ill get the keys to the

bread truck from Charlie.

Okay enough.

Go get the

keys from Charlie.

Only if you promise

to come to a party with me.

What party?

We throw parties

here all the time.

Everybody wants to meet you.

Just come to this one,

okay?

OK.

OK?

Terry was supposed to come in

and record us in our

natural environment.

Charlie thought a record

deal was coming too.

When I showed up,

the ranch was in full swing.

Yeah, we had

high expectations.

Charlie had us clean the

place from top to bottom.

We had zuzus,

hundreds of

joints were rolled.

And the girls,

well they prepared this

outstanding vegetarian feast.

The food that those

stores threw away

was perfectly good,

and we only took the very

best of what was there.

[Charlie singing]

Oh garbage dump,

oh garbage dump,

Why are you called

a garbage dump,

The first day

I came to the ranch,

Charlie sent me

on a garbage run.

He said take

some clean clothes

cause youll get all dirty.

And so I went

down to the market

and I hopped in the can,

and we went through

everything and got all dirty

and we just took the

best of everything.

And we took it and cleaned it

and took the skins off

and cut all the spots out.

Nobody goes hungry here.

You could feed the world

with my garbage dump,

You could feed the world
