Summary

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 for her roommate’s murder at 20 years old 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 be thrust onto a global stage as a young woman in the public eye. It’s a candid and emotionally layered episode about truth, bias, and the power of finally being heard.
