STARZPLAY releases Arabic Original ‘Big Lie’ straight from the Cinema

One of the highly anticipated Arabic movies of the year, ‘Big Lie’, is now streaming exclusively on STARZPLAY, one of the region’s top 3 subscription video on demand services, following its resounding success at the box office.

Inspired by true events, ‘Big Lie’ takes a fearless 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 fresh 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 utilize 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 idealized life to her followers, concealing the unraveling of her marriage behind the scenes.
