    Initially, upon her first exoneration, filmmakers were chomping at the bit to get time with Knox. She refused all of them, hoping instead to write a book about her experience. (She eventually did in 2013, in a memoir called Waiting to Be Heard.) It wasn’t until the beginning of 2014, when she re-approached Blackhurst and McGinn, that she expressed ...

    Blackhurst and McGinn clearly look at this film as a labour of love, an examination of a tragedy that somehow morphed into this worldwide phenomenon. They wanted to be certain that they spoke to every relevant person in the case, from the police chief to members of the media, to show all sides of the story and to make clear the kind of film they wa...

    Everyone involved in this story has had their lives affected in some way — obviously Knox and Kercher, Kercher’s family, Knox’s family, Knox’s boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, public prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, British journalist Nick Pisa, bar owner Patrick Lumumba, and the eventually convicted suspect Rudy Guede — and nearly all of the people inter...

    The way Knox’s story was told through the media, the audience digested the tale through sound bytes, catchy phrases and sensational claims, like Knox was involved in a sex cult, or she and Sollecito strong-armed Kercher into sexual deviance, or any other form of stretched sensationalism. These were two young, beautiful white women in a small Italia...

    At its core, this is a story of two women whose lives intersected in a horrific, unimaginable way. It’s no surprise the main thrust of media coverage zoomed in on the sexual aspect of this, and that the women were young, white, and in college. In the film, Knox tells stories of being slapped in the head by a police officer or not being believed whe...

    If true-crime aficionados know anything, it’s the importance of forensic evidence. Unquestionably, this was/is the hugest case the Italian town of Perugia had ever seen, and the crime scene was messy. The forensic police and scientists bungled many elements of the case: the protective footwear wasn’t cleaned, evidence was moved and missed, dozens o...

    Whatever’s going on in society, pop-culture consumers seem to be a part of some sort of hive mind. From the popularity of MaM to the addictiveness of Serial, true crime is having a moment. By their very nature, true-crime stories are dichotomous: while they provide us a definitive “yes” or “no” with documented evidence — a clear answer — there is a...

    “Our culture is so dedicated to the idea of celebrity,” said McGinn. “We’re all fascinated by what movie stars are up to in their lives, and at its heart, this movie is about private people getting caught up in a very public story. What that can do to people is fascinating. Plus the true-crime element, and showing the consequences for the people in...
