Amanda Knox has been blocked from airing her new documentary at a London cinema.
Knox, 38, was convicted and later acquitted of the murder of her flatmate, British student Meredith Kercher, and is in London to present two screenings of Mouth of the Wolf, her latest documentary about the trial.
However, ticket holders for the show at Greenwich Picturehouse have been contacted to tell them that the film cannot be screened to a public audience as it does not have a classification.
Organisers from the wrongful-conviction charity Innocence Project London have said that Knox will instead take to the stage along with her husband Christopher Robinson, who directed the film.
An email, via ticketing website Eventbrite, read: "Due to the documentary not having a BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) classification, it cannot be screened to a public audience. Therefore, the event will move to a discussion and Q&A, followed by a book signing.
"Amanda Knox will take to the stage to tell her story, and her husband, Christopher Robinson, will join her to talk about the documentary before we open the floor to Q&A from the audience.
“We appreciate that not everyone will have access to Hulu, but if you have not done so and are able to, the documentary is available there for viewing via Disney+."
A source at the venue told the Mail: “It's a real shame the event could not happen as advertised, but at least it hasn't been cancelled – just moved to a different format.”
Mouth of the Wolf sees Knox return to Perugia, the Italian city where Kercher was killed in 2007, and features some original songs sung by Knox herself.
Knox spent almost four years in prison, from her arrest in November 2007 to her release in October 2011, and was fully exonerated in 2015 when her conviction was overturned.
She has since released two books - a memoir, Waiting to be Heard, along with Free: My Search for Meaning in 2025.
She also appeared in the 2016 Netflix documentary Amanda Knox, has launched a true crime podcast called Hard Knox, and acted as executive-producer on the Hulu drama series Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox in 2025.
Knox has been accused of cashing in on Kersher's death since her acquittal, with the Kercher family’s lawyer Francesco Maresca saying that Knox “reopens the tragedy of what happened to Meredith” every time she speaks.
Maresca told the Mail: "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.
"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."
He added: “It really hurts the family. Why doesn't she respect her memory and keep quiet?”
Since arriving in London, Knox has shared a series of posts on social media, and appeared on Good Morning Britain where she discussed nurse Lucy Letby, whose conviction she claims is unsafe.
Knox said that she "became disturbed" by some of her findings after diving into Letby’s case for her new podcast.
She told Susanna Reid and Ed Balls: "People watching are also going to think, 'Well, of course Amanda Knox thinks that Lucy Letby is innocent'. To that, I would like to point out that the story around me - a lot of people were certain that I did it as well, until the evidence played out.
"I've been doing advocacy work for a long time now, it's been 18 years since I was arrested initially. I've learned a lot in the process. I've made mistakes. I've advocated for people who I came to understand were actually very likely guilty, and I’ve learned from those mistakes.
"In investigating this case, I did not approach this with a presumption of innocence. I approached this with, yes, an attuned understanding of how particularly women are vilified publicly, and what that says about our ability to interpret the evidence with a clear and rational mind instead of an emotionally charged one.
"But ultimately it comes down to the evidence. I found - I was not just concerned about what I found, I became disturbed by some of the things we uncover in the podcast.”
The Standard have contacted the BBFC and Greenwich Picturehouse for comment.
