Errol Morris (Chaos: The Manson Murders | Netflix)
Welcome to Season 4 of The Dangerous Art of the Documentary!
Oscar-winning director Errol Morris seeks to understand why
Charles Manson’s followers killed 7 people in 1969 through his latest work “Chaos: The Manson Murders”, a chilling exploration of a conspiracy of mind control, CIA experiments, and murder. Tiller starts the discussion by sharing how Errol inspired him to become a filmmaker (1:30) before Errol unpacks the difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory (6:00), how he knows when to stop making a film (11:00), the meaning of his own term “Errol’s razor” (25:00), the stupidity of some of the murderous culprits (34:00), the similarities between “Chaos” and his 1988 masterpiece “The Thin Blue Line” (44:30), and what fascinates him most about true crime (50:00).
