From the maker of Dark Obsession, this disturbing film centers on the media hype surrounding Ailee Wuornos, a prostitute, rape victim lesbian and ?Angle of Death,? who admitted to killings seven men whom she picked up along a Florida highway.

Selected for the 1993 New York Film Festival, this fascinating movie takes a scathing look at the media blitz around her sensational trial and examines the betrayal and self-interest of her lawyer, her lover and her adoptive mother, a born-again Christian who made lucrative book and movie deals.
