"She finally honors that young person that I was and the person I am today," Knox tells PEOPLE of the actress, who helped tell the story of her wrongful murder conviction

Miniseries The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox dramatises the famous miscarriage of justice, which saw her convicted – then acquitted – of the murder of fellow student Meredith Kercher.

"I mean, I thought I knew a good amount, and it wasn't even close to the twists and turns that happened throughout those years," the actress continued.
