Amanda Knox in Her Own Words
Update: 2021-08-12
Description
The mythologies and stereotypes that prosecutors used to wrongfully convict Amanda Knox still linger in the zeitgeist. So much so, that her story has reportedly inspired a new movie, "Stillwater," starring Matt Damon, leading Amanda to question exactly what responsibility storytellers have when reinventing the traumas of real people. Amanda and Jennifer discuss Amanda's reaction to the film, what McCarthy and Damon might have learned if they asked her perspective, and how women have been sold as "cardboard characters" for other people's profit. Plus, Amanda reflects on her case as it relates to larger issues within the criminal justice system.
