Director's Statement
This is the most personal and most disturbing film I have ever made. I knew Aileen over the course of 12 years and the barbaric nature of her death had a profound effect on me, and months of nightmares. It was one film I didn't choose to make: I came to it as a witness and ended up attending the execution. The violence of taking a life remains the same whether it is legally sanctioned or not. It introduces murder into our vocabulary of behavior.
