In the summer of 2009, the History Channel put together a documentary film about the Manson Family, or what I call the Manson Crime Family. A crime cult that ex-convict and career criminal Charles Manson put together in the late 1960s, as his way to get back at society for the crimes that he saw were committed against him, basically his whole life. Manson never knew his father, his mother not being around that much as well, getting shuffled around most of his childhood, never having a real home and learning much discipline before he went to prison.

Charlie Manson spending half of his life in one prison or another before being released for the last time in his life in the late 1960s and he blamed all of these things on society, never taking responsibility for his actions. And wanted to get back at the people he saw as guilty of these crimes that he believe were committed against him. 

In a way, the people who made up the Manson Family were perfect additions to it because they were people who were very young, late teens, early twenties and weren't sure where they were going in life. And didn't quite fit into society as well.

What the History Channel film did was to take us the viewers (and I've seen it several times and own a copy of it) back to the scene of the crimes and how this family was put together and how Charlie Manson brought them in. And how he controlled them to the point with his brainwashing methods and how Manson could make these young men and women do for him exactly what he wanted them to do, including murder people but not physically murder anyone himself. 

The targets of the Manson Crime Cult, were people who they saw as part of the establishment, entertainers and people in the entertainment business. Because Charlie Manson was actually an aspiring singer at one point and thats why they murdered people like actress Sharon Tate.

I haven't seen the My Name Is Evil film about Charlie Manson and his crime cult, but if it's anywhere near as good as the History Channel film, it should be very entertaining and informative about one of the most evil crime families ever put together, at least in Los Angeles and perhaps the entire State of California.
