September 11th, 2001 is a day that Americans will always remember. It is a day of tragedy yet also a day to show extreme loyalty to the country we call our home. The documentary “The Woman Who Wasn’t There” directed by Angelo Guglielmo and released in 2012, takes a new twist on a true story involving this holiday. Tania Head, President of The World Trade Center Survivor’s Network, is exposed for her false story of her miraculous escape from the World Trade Center on September 11th when in fact she was not even in the country at that time. I analyzed reviews about this psychological-thriller documentary found in The Variety, The Village Voice and Los Angeles Times. The reviews take different claims on what the film’s purpose was, yet they all agree upon the fact that the film was used to expose the wrong doings of Alicia Esteve or “Tania Head” and her compulsive lying; with the altered truth and altered portrayal of the truth, it is hard to know what can truly count as ‘truth’ and to whom.
