Never More: Manson (1973) Documentary

Source:Never More- 1973 Manson Family documentary.

"'Manson' is the definitive documentary on the former cult leader and his followers, released at a time when the notorious murders were still fresh.

"Whatever is necessary to do, you do it," Fromme says. "When somebody needs to be killed, there’s no wrong. You do it, and then you move on. And you pick up a child and you move him to the desert. You pick up as many children as you can and you kill whoever gets in your way. This is us."

The film was shot by Hendrickson and Merrick between 1969 and 1972—after Charles Manson and a handful of Family members had been arrested for the murders but before the story had been cemented as a cultural touchstone in the 1974 book Helter Skelter—with the Family footage filmed primarily at the Western film-set-turned-Manson compound Spahn Ranch and in Death Valley. The whole thing was scored by Brooks Poston and Paul Watkins, two former Manson Family members.

When I think of the Manson Crime Family, (as I call them) because thats basically what they were) I think of a huge waste of human potential across the board of people who are now serving life in prison, because they threw their lives away by intentionally taking the lives of innocent people. But thats not the whole story because they not only have wasted their lives all of these people in their late teens and early twenties, but they wasted the lives of their victims and threw their lives away as well.

The Manson Family stuck their victims families and friends, as well as their own families and friends with a life sentence in prison. That now all of these people who've done nothing wrong as it relates to this story of a life sentence in the victims families case of never being able to see their relatives again and losing them at a young age. But have also stuck their own families and friends with a life sentence of never being able to see them living in freedom again. Because of course they are now in prison for the rest of their lives where they deserve to be.

I call the Manson Family a crime family because they may of started off as a cult. Where young somewhat lost people could come together and get away from the real world where they may of felt out of place and not doing well there. But they became a crime family by late 1968 early 1969 by ripping people off, even taking hostages and beating the hell out of people who they thought they had money that was owed to them and so-forth and were even dealing illegal narcotics.

And of course all of these things all boiled up and eventually leading to the horrible murders. Murders you might only see from racist hate groups or vicious serial murderers which some of the Manson Crime Family members ended up being, like Charles Tex Watson (to use as an example) with all of the blood and stab wounds they left by their victims and the surrounding areas where the murders were done.

So the Manson Family became not much more than an evil crime family creating a lot of damage for the Los Angeles area. And of course for their victims and created just a tone of human waste that over forty years later the victims of these crimes, as far as the family members of the victims and offenders because the offenders families are also victims as a result of the Manson Crime Family murders as well.
