Our latest documentary, "Aileen Wuornos' Last 24 Hours," explores the final day of her life while tracing the extraordinary events that led her there.

In the hours before her execution, Wuornos made a series of bizarre and unforgettable statements that continue to puzzle investigators, psychologists, and true crime enthusiasts to this day.

From there, the documentary takes viewers inside Florida State Prison as preparations begin for her execution before stepping back in time to examine how her life unfolded.

Viewers will follow her story through:

• A difficult and unstable childhood

• Life as a drifter and sex worker

• The series of highway murders that terrorized Florida

• The police investigation

• Her arrest and interrogation

• The highly publicized trial

• Her conviction and sentence to death

Each chapter builds toward the final moments that audiences witnessed at the beginning of the film.

Returning to the Final Hours

After examining the investigation and trial, the documentary returns to Aileen's final day on death row.

It follows her through her last hours, the conclusion of her legal appeals, and the procedures leading up to her execution, bringing the story full circle.

By framing the documentary this way, viewers experience both the mystery surrounding her final interview and the decades of events that ultimately led to that moment.
