The movie explores the dark side of social media, particularly the influential and dangerous role it can play in people’s lives.
SVOD platform StarzPlay has released its original film Big Lie, following its success at the box office.
Inspired by true events, Big Lie takes a look at controversial topics related to the dark side of social media, highlighting its influence and its destructive side. With its first-of-its-kind concept and original storyline, Big Lie distinguishes itself from conventional drama films, offering a perspective on the contemporary challenges faced by society in the digital age, with a comedic twist.
Directed and produced by Nadim Mehanna, founder of NMPRO Arts, the movie includes a star-studded cast, featuring Heba Nour, Sandy Farah, Fouad Yammine, Yaaqoub Chahine, Laura Khabbaz, and Sharbel Zyadeh.
Big Lie delves into the lives of Yasmine and Jessica who utilise social media in contrasting ways to achieve their own objectives. Yasmine harnesses the power of social media to advocate for truth and make a meaningful difference in addressing injustices globally. On the other hand, Jessica presents a façade of an idealised life to her followers, concealing the unravelling of her marriage behind the scenes.

The partnership represents StarzPlay’s continuing commitment to bring Arabic talent to wider audiences and more Original and exclusive Arabic content to the platform’s subscribers.
