Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003)

Following up on the brilliant ‘Aileen: Selling of a Serial Killer‘, Nick Broomfield‘s brilliant second documentary on Aileen Wuornos, the highway prostitute and serial killer who was executed in 2002 for killing seven men in the state of Florida, is arguably the best documentary ever made in the ‘serial killer’ documentary genre…

“Wuornos claimed that her victims had either raped or attempted to rape her while she was working as a prostitute, and that all of the killings were committed in self-defense. She was convicted and sentenced to death for seven of the murders and was executed by the State of Florida by lethal injection on October 9, 2002. ” Wikipedia
