Amanda Knox spent nearly four years in prison and eight years on trial for a murder she didn’t commit—and became a notorious tabloid story in the process. Though she was exonerated, it’s taken more than a decade for her to reclaim her identity and truly feel free.
In her memoir Free, she recounts her prison saga, and the misadventures she had reintegrating into society.
Come hear Amanda Knox in conversation with journalist Sarah Berman.
