'Wrongfully Convicted' Amanda Knox Speaks Of Her Orderal In New Neflix documentary

Amanda Knox, the American woman who was accused of murdering her roommate while studying in Italy as exchange students has said that she is speaking out in the Netflix documentary titled 'Amanda Knox' because she feels she needs to explain how anyone "could be caught up in this nightmare where they're portrayed as something they're not."

"I think I'm trying to explain what it feels like to be wrongfully convicted, to either be this terrible monster or to be just a regular person who is vulnerable," said Knox in an interview on 'Good Morning America'

Seattle native Amanda Knox and her then-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were convicted by an Italian court of the murder of British student Meredith Kercher in 2009. A long legal battle ensued which finally ended with Italy's Supreme Court declaring in 2015 that she was innocent of the charges. Rudy Guede a man whose fingerprints were found at the scene of the crime had been already convicted of the crime and is serving a 16-year prison term.

The documentary, explores the events around the murder, immediately after it and the subsequent the legal battle Knox went through. It has interviews with Knox, Sollecito and Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, and offers interesting insights in Knox's state of mind and reactions.

A year after being acquitted, Knox says she is still "redeveloping" relationships with people around her and a world where she is not being "hunted down".

"I really thought that I was going to be OK, but I wasn't the same person to come back to Seattle," she said. "The whole world knew who I had ever had sex with, seven men, and yet I was some heinous whore, bestial and sex-obsessed and unnatural."

Knox decided to participate in the making of the documentary in order to use her voice to help others who have been exonerated from a crime.

"A lot of times their stories go overlooked, and I think that it's our moral duty to examine the cases of a wrongfully convicted person from the perspective of their humanity," Knox said.

While Sollecito participated in the documentary, Kercher's  family didn't.

"Amanda Knox"  will be available on Nexflix starting midnight on Sept. 30.
