Aileen Wournos: Selling of a Serial Killer

USA 1993, 98 minutes
Dir. Nick Broomfield
Rating: [M]
Genres: Documentary / Serial Killers

Aroview: Brit doco-man Nick Broomfield takes his mike and cameraman to Florida to reveal the strange truth beneath the myth of the 'world's first female serial killer'.

Justice is sidelined as it becomes apparent that it's in absolutely nobody's interest to see her escape death row. Extraordinary viewing from which one can merely conclude "only in America!"

5 stars (Exceptional) Broomfield investigates the real story of Aileen Wournos, and the commercial exploitation of her case. Going behind the headlines of "America's first female serial killer" and finds a complex character who's both culpable defendant - and victim. ~GenXGirl
