Amanda Knox is in London for the first time, according to multiple reports. She is hosting two sold-out events at Greenwich Picturehouse on April 21 and 22, originally planned as screenings of the documentary 'Mouth of the Wolf.' The screening on April 21 was cancelled because the documentary does not have a British Board of Film Classification classification, as reported by major media. Instead of the screening, Knox and her husband will talk about the documentary and take questions from the audience, followed by a book signing, according to multiple reports. Knox invited Brits to join her for two special nights in London, she said in a social media post. She added that she had never been to the UK and was excited the events were sold out. The exact nature of the setback that forced the change in plans, beyond the BBFC issue, remains unclear.
The documentary 'Mouth of the Wolf' is directed by Amanda Knox's husband, Christopher Robinson, multiple reports indicate. It follows Knox's return to Perugia, Italy, where Meredith Kercher was murdered in 2007. Knox was convicted and later acquitted of Kercher's murder, according to major media. She spent nearly four years in jail before her release on appeal in 2011, and Italy's Supreme Court definitively acquitted her in March 2015, as reported by multiple sources.
Hello London!
Since her acquittal, Knox has built a career including a memoir, podcast, film production, and stand-up comedy, according to major media. In a social media announcement, she said the screenings were a chance to experience the film in London.
The Kercher family's lawyer, Francesco Maresca, has criticized Knox's activities. According to Daily Mail - News, Maresca said the family feels enough is enough and urges Knox to draw a line under the case. He accused Knox of cashing in on Meredith's memory, as attributed to him. According to Daily Mail - News, Maresca also said every time Knox speaks, she reopens the tragedy and hurts the family, questioning why she doesn't respect Kercher's memory. According to Daily Mirror - News, Maresca further said Knox tries to have both the fame and money from the case.
I've never been to the UK, but I'm finally going. It's fantastic to know that the two screenings I'll be presenting are already sold out! I'll soon be releasing some reserved seats to put a few more tickets on sale! Join the waiting list! And thank you, London!
According to Daily Mail - News, the Kercher family was left speechless by Knox's visit. How the family has directly responded to the cancellation of the screening and the altered event format is not known. Whether Knox has publicly responded to the criticism from Maresca regarding her UK visit also remains unclear. Additionally, it is unknown whether Knox requested to visit the Kercher family or Meredith's childhood home while in the UK, and the specific reasons why the documentary lacks BBFC classification have not been detailed.
We're excited to share that Mouth of the Wolf will be screening in London for two special nights on April 21 and 22. These intimate screenings are a chance to experience the film in a city that has long embraced bold, thought-provoking storytelling. If you're in London, or know someone who is, we'd love to see you there. Amanda and Chris will be taking questions after the film. Join the waitlist as more tickets will be released soon.
It seems to me and the family that every six months or so Knox makes another media initiative be it a podcast, interview, documentary or film. To be frank, enough is enough, they have really had more than is reasonable of it now, they and myself just don't comprehend why she keeps on doing things like this and just can't leave this alone.
Every time she speaks, she reopens the tragedy of what happened to Meredith nearly 20 years ago and it really hurts the family – if Knox keeps insisting so much she and Meredith were friends why doesn't she respect her memory and keep quiet?
On the one hand, Amanda says the trial created so much suffering for her but then she tries to have it all – the fame and the money. She continues to make money from it. This time she has no qualms about doing it in Perugia, one of the least appropriate places to return to 17 years since Meredith's death.
