(Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies

(Dis)Honesty: The Truth About Lies (2015) is a U.S. documentary you can watch online on iFILM. Director Yael Melamede builds the film around the research of behavioral scientist Dan Ariely, whose experiments surface a simple and uncomfortable finding: most honest people lie — and far more often than they believe.

Real stories from real liars are cut alongside lab footage and Ariely's commentary. A teacher who inflated grades, an athlete who bent the rules, a financial advisor who shaded the truth — each had a reason that felt good at the time. What the film lays out is that they all ran the same internal program. By the end, you start reviewing your own ledger. Stream (Dis)Honesty online on iFILM.
