The Real Story with Amanda Knox

About this episode

Amanda Knox discusses the ethics of true crime reporting and her journey of reclaiming her story.

If you’re anything like Ashlyn you love true crime. But have you ever taken a step back to think about the ethics behind all those stories? Amanda Knox became one of the most recognizable names in true crime through biased reporting and sensational storytelling. Today she tells us how she’s clearing her name by reclaiming her story. She talks about the misogyny of the media circus around her trial, her new documentary, Mouth of the Wolf , about returning to Italy, and what healing looks like for her now.
