Amanda Knox

Amanda Knox (2016) is a Netflix true-crime documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Directors Rod Blackhurst and Brian McGinn revisit the case that gripped two continents: a young American student convicted, then cleared, over the killing of her flatmate in Italy.

The film hands the microphone straight to the people who lived it. Knox speaks for herself. So does her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, and so does the man whose DNA tied him to the crime scene. Around them, the directors weave courtroom footage and the tabloid frenzy that recast a 20-year-old as either a wide-eyed innocent or a cold-blooded predator, depending on which front page you read.

There is no narrator telling you who to believe, and that restraint is the point. What lingers is how quickly the press built a guilty verdict of its own. One line from Knox cuts deeper than any ruling: either she's a psychopath in sheep's clothing, or she's you. Stream Amanda Knox (2016) online on iFILM.
