Amanda Knox on When Headlines Steal Your Humanity

Video Description

This week on Reclaiming, Monica is joined by Amanda Knox — advocate, writer, and executive producer of the new Hulu series The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox — for an unflinching and deeply personal conversation about identity, injustice, and the long tail of trauma. From being wrongly imprisoned at 20 years old for her roommate’s murder to reclaiming authorship over her own story, Amanda reflects on the cost of being turned into a symbol, and the strength it takes to become a person again. They talk about shame, survival, and what it means to grieve when the world refuses to see your pain. It’s a candid and emotionally layered episode about truth, bias, and the power of finally being heard.

(That’s me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people – recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends – about what it means to reclaim what’s been lost or taken in the broadest sense. Every week, I’ll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves. And because I love a good tangent, we’ll probably also touch on other stuff, too.
