Overview
British documentarian Nick Broomfield creates a follow-up piece to his 1992 documentary of the serial killer Aileen Wuornos, a highway prostitute who was convicted of killing six men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. Interviewing an increasingly mentally unstable Wuornos, Broomfield captures the distorted mind of a murderer whom the state of Florida deems of sound mind -- and therefore fit to execute. Throughout the film, Broomfield includes footage of his testimony at Wuornos' trial.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stark examination of a woman systematically failed by systems and society, captured in her final days facing execution. Broomfield's interviews reveal the gap between official verdict and psychological reality, making this feel less like crime documentation and more like a portrait of institutional cruelty.
