The latest entry into TV’s onslaught of true-crime documentaries, Amanda Knox delves into the case of the 20-year-old American college student taking classes in Italy who was accused of murdering one of her female roommates in 2007. The documentary features interviews with Knox, who became a tabloid sensation due to the tragic and lascivious nature of the murder combined with her good looks. Producers also got sit-downs with Knox’s then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito and an Italian prosecutor. The documentary sifts through the contentious litigation of the case—Knox was initially found guilty of the crime—as well as the cultural implications of it, examining how the ordeal became such an international sensation.
