Let's kick back and watch this amazing documentary together. Discussion of media manipulation and personal/legal betrayal — especially as it pertains to lesbians/women — will follow.

SYNOPSIS … Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer is the mesmerizing true story of a lesbian prostitute who began killing male customers who brutalized her. In this unflinching documentary, Director Nick Broomfield takes us behind the sensational headlines to look at the life, crimes (here in Florida), and especially the exploitation of Aileen Wuornos. Interviews and rare footage paint a chilling picture of who betrayed her and ultimately benefited financially from deliberately creating and promoting the persona of "America's first female serial killer." Aileen Wuornos was the subject of the mainstream film Monster, for which Charlize Theron won an Academy Award.
