An entertaining, easy to watch and easy to understand look at the theories behind why we lie, as well as some practical, relatable examples from the real world of sports, business, academia and marketing. This documentary engages the audience in thinking about themselves as well as others in how we handle truth. The simplicity of the experiments allowed me to put myself in the situations and consider "What would I have done?" Confrontational, yet sympathetic so that the audience can wrestle some with the results of the studies. Totally worth the investment of time, and a great discussion starter!

An entertaining and easy to watch movie that combines masterful storytelling with a simple and easy to understand method. No black and white, no evil and good, but simply shades of grey. A great notion to understand at any point, but especially in today's polarized media world.

The movie that proves why the world is the way it is- at least in the U.S. What did people expect would happen when what the USA was founded on was changed?!!
