    Ugh. Some despicable people in this world.

    A depressing but necessary reminder that you can't blindly trust anybody. That there are many truly vile people in this world, many hiding in sheep's clothing. It seems to be a theme that women who don't get enough attention in real life, instead of working on themselves, sometimes resort to awful things to get attention - watch the TV reality show Catfish for many examples. Albeit, this is an extreme case. This is a person with no conscience, no moral compass, who preyed upon people going through unspeakable grief, and manipulated their grief to her advantage. Awful, despicable human being. She needs to be tracked down and locked up for the rest of her days. Or better yet, locked in a room for five minutes with the people she has victimized and exploited.

    What she could have done

    Was to help the Survivor´s network exactly the way she did but WITHOUT LIES!! She was capable, she acomplished a lot of things for the group and if she had been honest from the begining, people would have loved her even more! People liked her and missed her after she disappear!!!! She screwed up big time by lying.

    A walking vacuum

    This can't have been her first and only depravity. Nor probably her last...

    Amazing!

    This was an amazing, well put together documentary! I have watched it more then once and have recommended it to several friends. What a crazy story, even with reading the title and knowing where its headed it still has a way of surprising you. I found myself starting to believe her, already knowing the truth because how detailed she was. It's also interesting to Google her after you watch it.... It was interesting to hear what she has been up to and finding out that she as of a year ago was working at a law firm but was terminated (according to what I found) after the documentary came out. I definitely recommend this film. I have turned several of my friends onto it that have all enjoyed it.

    Great expose

    Pretending that you survived one of the most horrific days in history, American or world, just for the sake of getting attention is horrible! This woman obviously has a pathological problem with lying!

    • Trivia
      Originally the documentary was supposed to be a general retrospective of 9/11 survivors. As the producers met with people, many of them suggested the producers interview Tania Head due to her dramatic experience. Only after the interviews with Tania were recorded did the news officially break that Head's entire story, including her interviews for the documentary, was false. The producers immediately changed the focus of the documentary to Tania Head.
    • Quotes

      Tania Head: Just before 8:30, I get a phone call and it was Dave. He said he was just gonna go get a cup of coffee and asked me if I wanted to meet him and I said I was just about to go into a meeting and I couldn't do it. I said I love you and I'll talk to you later. And that was the last time I ever spoke to him.
