Fantastic Lies
Synopsis
With the help of key participants, we reveal what really happened at the Duke Lacrosse team party which went terribly wrong on March 13th, 2006. Ten years on, there are still many important questions to be asked when it comes to this case. Why did this story touch such a raw nerve? What does it tell us about attitudes towards race, sex, privilege, sports and money in America?
