Overview

The story of Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist and author of SCUM Manifesto (Society for Cutting Up Men) who made headlines in 1968 when she attempted to kill Andy Warhol, I Shot Andy Warhol moves beyond the simplistic view of Valerie as a deranged lesbian acting in revenge for being shunned by the Factory crows to present a complex figure whose brilliance and passion were clouded by mental instability and a history of abuse.
