Destination: Perugia, Italy

Amanda Knox, a college student from Seattle, dreamed of learning Italian and immersing herself in the culture of Italy. But in the fall of 2007, her Italian study abroad turned tragic when her roommate, Meredith Kercher, was found brutally murdered in their Perugia apartment. Amanda and her Italian boyfriend were accused and arrested, igniting one of the most high-profile criminal cases in Italy. After a lengthy trial filled with conflicting evidence, forced confessions, a media frenzy, and an international outcry, Amanda spent four years in an Italian prison. To this day, half the world still thinks Amanda Knox is guilty. What do you think?

Was Amanda Knox a victim of Italy’s flawed justice system, or does the truth lie deeper in the mystery of Meredith Kercher’s death?
