Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer

In this documentary, filmmaker Nick Broomfield follows the saga of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute who has been accused of committing a brutal series of murders. Broomfield conducts interviews with Wuornos herself, and his crew films her trial as well as her interactions with religious fanatic Arlene Pralle, who gives Wuornos dubious advice and legally adopts her. The cameras also roll as the accused's attorney ignores the case at hand to negotiate a deal to sell his client's story.

Do you remember? Last summer, Illinois was confronting a series of bizarre murders. At each crime scene, police found a sketch of a house which turned out to be the location of the next murder. But detectives couldn't identify the houses in time, and the murders continued, becoming more violent until someone recognizes the latest sketch as the old Wilson farm up in Monroe. As we open, a policewoman named Crawley is being interviewed by an unseen authority figure. She tries to remember what exactly happened at the Wilson farm. She explains she was patrolling in the area and went there quickly, intending to find out what the owner knew and get him out. Instead. . . what happened was. . . if only she could remember. . .
