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 ).
