Nick Broomfield Retrospective

After shooting the film ‘Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer’ in 1992, Broomfield returned twelve years later to his heroine, the first American woman serial killer. As they stayed in touch for the whole time, Broomfield was invited to her last public testimony before she was executed on October 9th 2002. Through a story of a woman judged for seven admitted murders, committed in the moments of insanity, very paranoid, but in all this pandemonium probably the most positive person, who in the end, after twelve years spent in prison, only wanted to die, the director clearly raises his voice against the capital punishment and raises serious questions concerning the execution of the mentally ill.
