U.S. Theatrical Premiere!

Norma Khouri is a thief, a saint, a seductress or a sociopath, depending on who you talk to. Men want to marry her, Islamic extremists want to kill her, and the global publishing industry wishes she would just disappear. Khouri won fame and ortune with her 'true story' Forbidden Love, about a shocking honor killing in Jordon. The book was a runaway bestseller, translated into multiple languages and Khouri became the toast of the literary world. That was until July 2004, when esteemed Sydney Morning Herald journalist Malcolm Knox exposed her book as a work of fiction. Weaving between the literary salons of London, the mosque-lined vistas of Jordan, the beach side suburbs of Queensland and the seamy Chicago backstreets of Norma's dubious past, Forbidden Lie$ pits Norma's tale against the stories of the those who believe she duped them: the publishers, the FBI, her next door neighbor...even her husband. But the most compelling character of all is Norma—who, encouraged by diretor Anna Broinowski, journies through every shade of grey that separates fact from fiction. Dir. Anna Broinowski. Australia, 2007, 35mm. Running time: 104 mins. Nightly at 7:00 & 9:10. Additional Saturday, Sunday, & Wednesday matinees at (2:30) & 4:45.
