Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer
“The 2002 Interviews.”
Synopsis
British documentarian Nick Broomfield creates a follow-up to his 1992 documentary on the serial killer Aileen Wuornos, a highway prostitute who was convicted of killing six men in Florida between 1989 and 1990. Broomfield interviews Wuornos, whose mental state becomes increasingly apparent as the film progresses. He documents her unstable mindset, contrasting it with the state of Florida's assessment of her as sound of mind and therefore eligible for execution. The film also includes footage of Broomfield's testimony at Wuornos' trial.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 14
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
