This true crime documentary tracks the shocking case of Aileen Wuornos, the woman who became known as America's first female serial killer. In 1991, seven men were found dead along Florida's I-75. Police eventually arrested Wuornos, a sex worker who hitchhiked for clients, and she soon gave an explosive confession. For years, she maintained the killings were acts of pure self-defense against violent men, painting a dark picture of her life on the road. However, as her case progressed, it was revealed that police officers were allegedly trying to sell her story to Hollywood for profit, leading to a massive scandal that tainted the investigation. This film explores the dramatic legal battles, including a chaotic courtroom confrontation with her defense attorney, and the heartbreaking truth of her abusive childhood.

1992, Florida, USA. Aileen Wuornos is claimed to be the world’s first female serial killer. She killed seven of her clients and was on death row in the State of Florida facing the electric chair. The three main characters are Aileen Wuornos, whom we see in prison, her born-again Christian mother, Eileen Pralee, who recently adopted Aileen Wuornos, and her lawyer, Steve Glazer. The film raises a number of questions about official corruption, not least of which is whether in fact, she is a serial killer at all, or if that label is just a commercial means of selling Aileen Wuornos and her story.
