Little White Lie: DVD + Truth Circle Game from Lacey Schwartz

$39.99

The ultimate version of the documentary Little White Lie, a personal story about dual identity and family secrets, along with the Truth Circle Game.

What defines our identity, our family of origin or the family that raises us? How do we come to terms with the sins and mistakes of our parents? Filmmaker Lacey Schwartz discovers that answering those questions means understanding her parents’ own stories as well as her own. She pieces together her family history and the story of her dual identity using home videos, archival footage, interviews, and episodes from her own life. Little White Lie is a personal documentary about the legacy of family secrets, denial, and the power of telling the truth.

Created with the goal of driving deep discussions following screenings of Little White Lie, the Truth Circle Game is an interactive card game that uses a narrative-based approach to engage with key themes from the film, including complex racial identities, family dynamics, and personal truth. A semi-structured conversation shaped by participants, the game requires one designated facilitator and two or more participants.
