In 2007, a young British student was brutally sexually assaulted and murdered in the room of an Italian house. Her American roommate is arrested and tried for the murder, but there's a problem. The girl looks far too innocent for anyone to convict her of the horrific crimes she has been accused of. When a journalist and a documentary filmmaker arrive on the scene, they join together to try to get to the bottom of the crime, all the while raking up more and more of the dirt surrounding the case.
Director Michael Winterbottom ('24 Hour Party People') adapts the 2010 book 'Angel Face: The True Story of Student Killer Amanda Knox' by Barbie Latza Nadeau about the true story of Amanda Knox - a girl accused of killing Meredith Kercher in 2007. Knox was originally released and returned to the US, but in January 2014, she was found guilty by an Italian court and sentenced to 28 years in prison. 'The Face of an Angel' first appeared at the Toronto International Film Festival on 6th September 2014, and is set for a UK release on 27th March 2015. It will be released in the US on 30th June 2015.
