Amanda Knox: The Globe and Mail puts the spotlight on artist Sienna Reid's "multimedia project" which explores the way in which inflammatory words have been used to mask the Italian government's hollow, impoverished, misguided prosecution of an innocent woman. (Quite brilliant! HL);


PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The Globe and Mail has drawn attention to  what it calls a "sprawling multimedia project: created by artist Sienna Reid on the subject of  "Amanda Knox, the American student who was convicted, and later acquitted, of the murder of her British roommate in Perugia, Italy" On the video at the link below, Artist Reid is  chatting  with Hannah Song about her goals. Artist Reid very cleverly shows how Amanda Knox's attackers used some of the ugliest language conceivable to mask the fact that the Italian criminal investigation was so hollow and misguided in the face of her innocence. It's quite brilliant, as is the news story by reporter Eric Reguly,  (Link below);
