Reading this, I can't help but ponder the role of mass media in society. How much of our collective worldview is based on marketability of stories in Hollywood? I don't think the writers on Stillwater had any intrinsic interest in retelling her story unfaithfully, but ultimately they are in the business of modifying the story for maximum market appeal. In this case that sucks for Amanda. An incorrect version of her story has entered the public consciousness as myth and I, like Amanda, imagine that this myth will stop much needed debates about the system that led her to innocently going to prison. How many of the myths that I believe in, and interpret the world by, have been distorted by market forces? It's a really scary question if I'm honest.
