- Title: 9/11 Faker
- Date: 11th September 2008
- Description:The story of one of the world's most audacious hoaxes: Tania Heads heartrending account of narrowly surviving the terror attack on New York's Twin Towers,but losing her fiance to the terrorists that same morning,became the ultimate tale of inspiration not just for other survivors but for an entire nation left reeling by 9/11. She was a Hollywood script-writers dream. Until every detail of her story was exposed as a lie. This entertaining film reveals the extraordinary hoax pulled off by a rich kid from Barcelona who was living thousands of miles away from New York studying for an MBA in Spain at the very moment of the World Trade Centre attack. This impostor gradually built up her victim persona online,before moving to New York to live out a new life as the 9/11 heroine. It shows how she methodically grafted her story onto the lucky escapes and horrible deaths of actual people on 9/11 (the ultimate sacrilege says one interviewee),until finally,as President of the Survivors' Network,one of the powerful 9/11 action groups,she could even move Mayor Rudi Giuliani to tears with her story.
