This so called documentary actually is not deserving of this predicate. The director/author Andrea Vogt, a low quality tabloid-journalist, whose career is based almost exclusively on her personal involvement in this case and the media witch hunt for Amanda Knox, is not only intentionally misrepresenting the events of the case but is not reporting the facts but subjectively arguing following her own agenda. The main part of the documentary uses frankly non-existing evidence, purposely ignoring the results of all independent experts who reported to the courts in their entirety and also, in the same breath, purposely excludes the vast majority of exonerating evidence. Journalistic standards are broken brutally and constantly and the facts of the case are distorted to the extent that they become absolutely unrecognizable. Vogt tries to prove a not-fact-based version of the crime which leaves room or at least creates enough artificial doubt for Vogt's theory of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito being the killers after all. To get there she's not even afraid of using bogus science, wrongful statements that are never corrected, fake information and even manipulating CSI video material. Her use of preexisting material of Knox and Sollecito against them is absolutely abusive and inflammatory. All in all a pack of vicious lies created to misinform the public and cement the directors own reputation in opposition to two court verdicts that acquitted Knox and Sollecito because 'they did not commit the crime´.

Plot summary
Amanda Knox served four years in an Italian prison for the murder of her British flatmate Meredith Kercher in Perugia in 2007, always insisting on her innocence. In 2011, she was acquitted on the basis of DNA evidence but prosecutors successfully appealed and her acquittal was struck down. In 2014 she was again found guilty in absentia after a retrial and sentenced to 28 years and six months in jail. The saga came to and end when Italy's highest court overturned the convictions of Ms Knox and her former boyfriend, Italian student Raffaele Sollecito in March 2015. Known burglar Rudy Guede was arrested a short time later following the discovery of his bloodstained fingerprints on Kercher's possessions. He was later found guilty of murder in a fast-track trial and is currently (as of 2019) serving a 16-year prison sentence.
