Blurb:
Since the dawn of civilization, people in power have played with the truth, danced with deception, and altered reality to suit their interests.
Truth and Lies is an ambitious new TVO documentary series that explores the most dramatic present-day and historical examples of facts being bent, twisted and reshaped as a means of achieving influence and control.
