Amanda Knox

On November 2, 2007, Italian police entered a cottage in Perugia, Italy and discovered the dead body of 21-year-old English student Meredith Kercher. Almost immediately, their suspicion fell on Meredith's roommate, American university student Amanda Knox. Referred to as Foxy Knoxy by her Italian prosecutor and the press, Knox was painted as an oversexed remorseless killer during a two-year trial so sensational, it often seemed ripped from a telenovela. But who is this Seattle honor student and what can a look outside the news story reveal? Beyond the Headlines: Amanda Knox features interviews with Amanda's mother, father, friends, investigators, prosecutors and legal scholars who take viewers inside the Italian justice system and reveal what it's like to be a foreigner locked up and convicted in another country. Set in Perugia and Seattle, the documentary unravels the legal evidence and allegations to look at what really happened that night in 2007 and what Amanda Knox's role might have been.
