Netflix has released the first trailer for their forthcoming true crime drama about Amanda Knox.

The new documentary film delves back into the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher and the subsequent trial of Knox and her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito.

Giving a first glimpse of the film, which will air exclusively on the streaming service, the trailer shows brand new interviews with Knox, who was twice convicted and twice acquitted of the crime.

“I’m either I'm a psychopath in sheep's clothing, or I’m you,” she tells the camera.

“The whole world knew who I had ever had sex with. I was a kid.”

Knox, who spent four years in prison in Italy for the murder, also talks about her time behind bars.

“Suddenly, I found myself tossed into this dark place. I was so scared. Before Italy I had a happy life,” she says.

Directed by Rod Blackhurst and Brian McGinn, the film attempts to explore the notorious case in depth and give a ‘different side’ to the story.

Filmmakers have gained access to Knox and Sollecito for the project, as well as Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini and Daily Mail reporter Nick Pisa.

Amanda Knox will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival on September 9 and then be made available globally on Netflix on September 30.
