Movie Synopsis:

In the summer of 1969, a series of murders in California shocked the world. Over the course of two nights seven people were butchered in their own homes, among them Hollywood actress Sharon Tate. The trail eventually led to Charles Manson and the subsequent court case propelled the ex-con to worldwide notoriety. Today he remains one of the world's most infamous criminals, still getting regular media coverage and dividing public opinion, while having the unique distinction of being convicted of nine murders yet never proved to have been present at any of them. Various film and literary projects have depicted Charles Manson down the years, however none have explored the man in the depth in which 'Manson Rising' does. Told over five decades, this project explores Manson's childhood relationship with his mother Kathleen Maddox, an adolescence spent in reform schools, his marriage and attempt to lead a conventional life, and a search for self discovery and music during a decade in prison. This project objectively examines the various influences throughout Manson's life that led him to a position of influence that brought the curtain down on the 1960s.
