Storyline

A psychological suspense thriller about The World Trade Center Survivors' Network and their former President, Tania Head. After meeting Director Angelo J. Guglielmo, Jr., Head commissioned a documentary based on her work with the Survivors' Network. Filming began and the world's most famous 9/11 survivor told her story with spellbinding intensity. There was only one problem: Tania Head was never in the Twin Towers and her epic story of grief was a complete fabrication.

Trivia

Tanya Head stated that she was always approached by family members of the victims of 9/11 asking her about how their loved one died. Ms. Head stated she didn't want to tell them because "who wants to talk about body parts". Wanting to know the details of the death of a loved one is common in survivor's guilt.

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.

User Reviews

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 here and missed her after she disappear!!!! She screwed up big time by lying.
