Molly Rokosz

Molly Rokosz—yeah, that name might ring a bell if you’re even half-plugged into the world of true crime docs and chilling real-life tales. She’s got her fingerprints all over some seriously gripping stuff, like The Pigeon Tunnel (2023), which dives into the tangled web of espionage and secrets straight out of a John le Carré fever dream. That’s not all—she was part of Wormwood (2017), that wild docudrama that messes with your head about government secrets, LSD experiments, and a son’s desperate search for the truth about his father’s death. It’s one of those stories that leaves you staring at your ceiling at 2am, wondering what the government’s hiding under all those redacted files. But hang on, because the rabbit hole goes even deeper with Chaos: The Manson Murders (2025). This one’s not just about the creepy cult leader we’ve all heard about. Nope—this doc peels back the layers on the whole Manson mythos, digging into conspiracy theories, unexplained connections, and the kind of dark, twisty stuff that makes you question everything you thought you knew about the sixties. Rokosz’s style? She doesn’t mess around—she’s after the weird, the hidden, the stuff that makes your skin crawl in the best way. Her work is less paint-by-numbers, more insane collage. If you like your documentaries with a side of existential dread and a sprinkle of “wait, what did I just watch?”—her filmography’s basically a buffet.
