Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer


Aileen Life and Death of a Serial Killer is a 2003 featurelength documentary film about Aileen Wuornos, made by Nick Broomfield as a followup to his 1992 film Aileen Wuornos The Selling of a Serial Killer. The film focuses on Wuornos declining mental state and the questionable judgment to execute her despite her being of unsound mind.

The film climaxes in a final interview with Wuornos just one day before her execution. In the interview, she states that she was tortured while in prison and claims that the prison used sonic pressure to control or alter her mental state. In a fit of rage, Wuornos rails against a society that she says railroaded my ass before abruptly ending the interview. Broomfield comments that he finds it hard to understand how the same person in front of him was deemed of sound mind the day before by Florida governor Jeb Bushs psychiatric examiners.The film concludes with footage of a prison spokesman reading Wuornos final statement at a press conference after her execution Im sailing with the Rock, and Ill be back. Like Independence Day with Jesus, June 6, like the movie, big mothership and all. Ill be back. ........
