Netflix 'Amanda Knox' Documentary: True Crime Drama Sets Record Straight - Will It Sway Your Perception?

Netflix is releasing the "Amanda Knox" documentary on Friday, Sept. 30, in the hopes of setting the record straight on the murder that happened nearly 10 years ago. The documentary crew puts Amanda Knox in the hot seat as she speaks truthfully about her conviction and subsequent release from prison. Will the "Amanda Knox" documentary sway the viewers' perception about what really happened?

Amanda Knox, who hails from Seattle, was then a 20-year-old student studying in Italy in 2007 when she became the primary suspect in the murder of her roommate, British student Meredith Kercher. The Italian courts found her guilty initially and Amanda was incarcerated for four years.

However, she was released from prison after an appeal and then went home to America. She was once again convicted in 2014 and was supposed to be sent back to prison. However, another appeal in 2015 has otherwise declared her a free woman. CNN has the complete timeline of the Amanda Knox-Meredith Kercher case from the beginning to January 2016.

Because of these trials, the guilty verdict for Amanda Knox has lingered from the public's perception of the murder. Netflix hopes that the "Amanda Knox" documentary will finally set the record straight. Now at 29-years-old, Amanda still insists she was "wrongfully convicted" of the crime. As one life was lost, another life has been ruined by the media.

"What I'm trying to convey is a regular person like me, just a kid who was studying abroad who loves languages, could be caught up in this nightmare where they're portrayed as something they're not," Amanda Knox said on "Good Morning America," Yahoo reports.

Amanda reveals details of abuse and mistreatment by Italian investigators and police in the "Amanda Knox" documentary. But the production also presents the other side of the story, with Raffaele Sollecito, who was Amanda's boyfriend when the murder happened, journalist Nick Pasa and investigator Giuliano Mignini.

The "Amanda Knox" documentary was produced for five years by Brian McGinn and Rod Blackhurst. Take a look at the teaser to the true crime drama in the video below.
