Is Amanda Knox innocent or guilty of murder? Building off the success of "Making a Murder," Netflix will be releasing a new true-crime documentary about the infamous Amanda Knox case.
Amanda Knox was a 20-year-old college student from Seattle who, in 2007, was living in Italy when she was arrested for murdering her roommate, British exchange student Meredith Kercher. The trial became a global obsession, and Knox was consequently demonized as a callous sex killer in the Italian and British media.
Knox would later be found guilty. But after serving nearly four years in an Italian prison, she was eventually freed and cleared of the murder charges in a second trial. Today, Knox is living back in Seattle, working as a freelance writer. She is seen, offering her own testimony in the new documentary.
Directed by Emmy-nominated documentary producer Brian McGinn (Chef's Table) and indie filmmaker Rod Blackhurst (Here Alone), "Amanda Knox" is making its world premiere this week at the Toronto International Film Festival. It will be released on Netflix later this month, beginning September 30th.
In the meantime, check out two newly-released trailers, above.
synopsis:
Twice convicted and twice acquitted by Italian courts of the brutal killing of her British roommate Meredith Kercher, Amanda Knox became the subject of global speculation as non-stop media attention fed the public's fascination through every twist and turn of the nearly decade-long case.
In a world that remains strongly divided on the legal findings, Amanda Knox goes beyond guilt or innocence to shed new light on the events and circumstances of the past nine years. Featuring unprecedented access to the key people involved and never-before-seen archival material, the film shifts between past to present, exploring the case from the inside out in exclusive interviews with Amanda Knox, her former co-defendant and ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini and Daily Mail reporter Nick Pisa.
directed by Brian McGinn, Rod Blackhurst
release date September 30, 2016 (on Netflix)
