THE MURDER OF MEREDITH is a true crime documentary film concerning the investigation into the killing of 21-year-old British student Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy in 2007.

sexual violence and sexual threat
There are occasional references throughout the documentary to the victim having been forcibly undressed and sexually assaulted, and to the - now debunked - theories that the murder was the culmination of a ‘sex game gone wrong’ and that Kercher was killed for refusing to take part in a ‘drug-fuelled orgy’.
injury detail
There is repeated use of footage of smears and splatters of real blood at the crime scene. There are also disturbing verbal references to the knife injuries inflicted on the victim, which interviewees describe as evidence of ‘torture’.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
There are moderate verbal references to drug misuse. There are also references to sexism, when a criminologist explains that the media response to suspect Amanda Knox was negatively influenced by conventional gender stereotypes. Infrequent bad language includes ‘shit’ and ‘hell’.
