Errol Morris

Director

Errol Morris is an American documentary filmmaker known for films such as The Thin Blue Line and The Fog of War and for his distinctive interview technique.

Morris directed The Thin Blue Line (1988) — a film widely credited with contributing to the release of Randall Dale Adams — and won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for The Fog of War. He is known for using the Interrotron in interviews.

The supplied review (by Confaloni) treats Errol Morris's documentary about the Manson murders as a curious, questioning investigation that draws on Tom O'Neill's book. The film uses archival footage and interviews to raise doubts about official reconstructions, mentioning MKUltra and possible infiltration. Morris does not advance a definitive thesis but foregrounds uncertainties.

For:Fans of documentary film, readers of true crime and 1960s history, and those interested in investigations of CIA programs like MKUltra.

 The documentary film "Chaos Operation and the Manson Murders", made by Errol Morris, tries to spark some curiosity about those events, taking its cue from the investigative book "Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties", the result of twenty years of research by Tom O'Neill and Dan Piepenbring.
