Story ≠ Truth

We just finished watching a documentary called The Woman Who Wasn't There.

It's about a gal who pretended she was a 9/11 Survivor and got very involved with the 9/11 Survivor support groups.  She got a little bit famous, but come to find out, she made up the whole story.  I'm figuring she had some mental or emotional problems.  She wanted to stand out and be part of something important.  I guess we all do. Let's try to cut her some slack.

So many people believed her and cared about her.  Now her life is probably a total train wreck.  She's off the grid right now, so I'm not sure what's going on with her at present. I've googled her, but no luck.  That gal is gone baby gone.

I feel a lot of compassion for this woman, even though she screwed up royally.  I hope she's somehow able to do her best and forget the rest.

It doesn't matter if you know that her story ≠ the truth when you watch this documentary, so I suggest you watch it if you feel like it.
