White Lie
"Ninety-six minutes of watching someone maintain a lie the way other people hold down a job."
Curator's Note
Lewis and Thomas keep the camera calm and almost clinical, so the pressure comes entirely out of conversation — a bursary office, a waiting room, a kitchen table. Kacey Rohl plays Katie without ever asking to be forgiven, and the discomfort is exact: you stay on her side far longer than you mean to. Watch the logistics rather than the drama, the placebos and the bank machine and the daily upkeep, for how much labour the deception actually costs.
Synopsis
Katie Arneson is the most beloved patient on her campus: shaved head, crowdfunding page, a girlfriend who never thinks to doubt her. None of it is true. When a university bursary requires medical documentation inside a week, Katie has to find someone willing to forge it, and the story she has spent ten months building starts demanding more upkeep than she can pay.
