Sticks and Stones Trilogy is an artistic, visceral and emotional interpretation of the true story of American student Amanda Knox, who was imprisoned, wrongfully convicted and ultimately exonerated for the murder of her friend while studying abroad in a small town in Italy. The Words are a documentation of what Amanda Knox was called, that were culled from local and international news articles, police statements and court documents.

A student imprisoned for a crime she did not commit, fights to overcome character assassination and confinement, until her eventual exoneration and release from prison.
