Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer is a feature-length documentary film about Aileen Wuornos made by Nick Broomfield as a follow-up to his 1992 film . The focus of this film is Wuornos' declining mental state, and the questionable judgement to execute her despite her clearly not being of sound mind.

The climax of the film is a final interview with Wuornos just one day before her execution, where Broomfield finds it hard to understand how the same person in front of him was deemed 'of sound mind' the day before by Jeb Bush's examiners.

Again, Wuornos is shown as the victim of political rather than ethical reasoning.
