Forbidden Lie$ ("spoiler" alert)

Forbidden Lie$ is a documentary about a woman who wrote a best-selling memoir about a friend of hers who was murdered by her father in an honor killing in Jordan.

Turns out, she made up most of the details, if not the entire story.

The documentary followed her trying to prove herself, but the lies she told kept unraveling and information came out that she was a con artist.

It was an interesting story, although I found the way it was filmed rather annoying. There were a number of dramatic re-enactments, which I never like; and the use of old movie footage to set certain scenes, which was distracting.
