Incarcerated since 1979 after being convicted of brutally murdering his pregnant wife and two young daughters, Jeffrey MacDonald maintains his story that a group of hippies broke into their home and slaughtered his family. Director Marc Smerling takes us on a journey through MacDonald's trial with the help of writer Errol Morris and highlights the disjointed facts that led him to the conclusion that MacDonald is an innocent man.
Morris wrote a book in 2012 of the same name, and the documentary version walks us through interviews and reenactments, piecing together an alternative scenario that puts these seemingly Manson-inspired murders in new light. There is a woman convinced she was there that night but didn't take part in the murder, but her narrative is less that airtight and her story morphs from one minute to the next.
