Monster

Director: Patty Jenkins

Starring: Charlize Theron, Christina Ricci, Bruce Dern, Lee Tergesen

Release: 2004-02-26

Screening: 2004-02-24

A dark tale based on the true story
of Aileen Wuornos, one of America's first female serial killers.


Wuornos, who became a prostitute by the age of thirteen, earns
a living as a highway prostitute, servicing the desires of semi-truck
drivers.


The tale focuses on the nine-month period between 1989 and 1990,
when she began to murder any of her clientele who attempted to rape
her. The events turned the tables on a rather common phenomena of
female highway prostitutes being the victims of serial killers.
