Amanda Knox spent four years in an Italian prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didn’t commit. Knox's new series on Hulu, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, is a dramatization of her wrongful conviction in Italy, and her journey to reconcile with the man who sent her to prison. Featuring Knox as executive producer, this emotionally charged true-crime limited series goes beyond the headlines to show what happened when a young student’s life spiraled into injustice, media frenzy, and public ruination. Amanda is uniquely poised to speak on cultivating resilience in the face of the impossible, and will leave any audience feeling empowered, enlightened, and filled with hope.
