Amanda Knox is an author, activist and journalist, best known for fighting to regain the narrative of her own life after being wrongfully convicted of murder. The global media seized on her case, after her 2007 arrest in Perugia and subsequent conviction for the murder of her friend Meredith Kercher. After four years in prison, she was exonerated by Italy’s highest court - but continues to be treated as a source of profit by the media and attacked online. In this in-depth interview, Amanda reflects on the devastating impact of those events and her efforts to build a new life; attacks a media “overwhelmed with sensationalism” which “wanted her to be guilty,” in spite of the facts - declining to focus on the actual murderer Rudy Guede, and continuing to push the profitable ‘Foxy Knoxy’ construct; and shares her frustration at Hollywood’s indifference to their damage - with new movie ‘Stillwater’ featuring a fictional character, clearly based on her, but with a so-called ‘twist’ that she was indeed the murderer.
