Amanda Knox Strengths And Weaknesses

Rod Blackhurst and Brian McGinn had created a Netflix documentary named, Amanda Knox, which is based on a real-life young girl who was American that moved to Italy to study abroad. Soon after living there for a while, she was accused of murdering her roommate and, because of this, there is much quantity of suspense in finding who done it. This film is meant to educate the audience from around the world and unravel the story of what really happened to the girl who was murdered, whose name was Meredith Kercher. There were many strengths found in this presentation such as providing specific details of the court cases as well as the evidence found in the mess of everything. There was one major weakness that the film did not come to the conclusion of which was who had done it?

This documentary opens by stating background information of who Amanda Knox is and how she is viewed as a person before all the commotion occurs.

The story unfolds by the investigators interrogating her and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, because they were trying to connect pieces of information together on who was guilty. Concluding, the court decides that her and her boyfriend are found innocent due to many flaws found in the investigation, such as there being small amounts of evidence of their crime. There were many shifts found in this film, such as changing from one fault to another and causing several innocent individuals to be convicted of a crime they did not execute. This documentary was well structured in such a way that their audience was able to grasp the story of what really happened by the order of events in which they occurred. This story was distorted world-wide because the media had made it a global issue, which brought in much more complications since it was not within their own country anymore. The audience was startled by how someone can be so cruel in doing such a

thing.
This documentary was established by putting pieces of information together as well by getting Amanda Knox, her boyfriend, and several other individuals, who played a key part in the case, to be interviewed and tell their sides of the story rather than having the news tell what they believe happened. By having them be interviewed, it allowed the audience to gain a sense of knowledge of what actually happened. As well to establish credibility the directors were able to obtain actual evidence of the crime scene and the objects that were found in the murder. With this evidence, the audience is able to gain a new perspective of what actually happened and believe in what the documentary delivers.
The documentary is able to appeal to the emotions of the individuals who see it because of the real-life events that occur and how the audience are able to see the real-life crime scenes of what happened. Hearing a story of one’s throat being slit is devastating and appeals to many emotions. Because of this, the audience are furious and want harm done to Amanda since she was ‘guilty’ at several points for committing the crime. The personal stories had engaged many and wanted to investigate more of what actually happened in the cause of this case.
This documentary all around was well organized and all the pieces were well put together, although the only thing that was missing was what everyone was waiting for, who really committed the crime? This film was persuasive in many ways and was eye-catching that one would not want to look away, if not they would miss much information.
