Anna Broinowski's Forbidden Lie$ is a feature documentary surrounding Norma Khouri, the best-selling author of Forbidden Love, who was exposed as a major literary fake due to both her questionable account of real life honour killing in Lebanon, and the glaring inconsistencies in the book.

Khouri, the central figure in the film, isn’t simply lying and isn’t simply telling the truth. Broinowski's non-linear stylised narrative unfolds more and more layers of the web Khouri has woven around her. Broinowski also films her subjects watching each other's testimonials on television monitors and laptop computers, to capture their uncensored, real-time reactions and responses. It's more akin to a psychoanalysis of a fantasy world in the form of fiction.

Broinowski breaks out of the director's traditional objective position and becomes a character in her own film, travelling with Khouri to Jordan to allow her the chance to prove herself on camera. More layers of deceit or fantasy unfold. Does truth matter more? Why hang onto it? Why not accept the fiction and mythmaking. It's a way to counter the media's demonising Khouri ,
