world premier in adelaide , doco wins awards for exposing even more
CIA and Mossad anti Islam LIES
In July 2004, Norma Khouri, the best-selling author of
Forbidden Love, was exposed as a major
literary fake.
Her book, which had sold 250,000 copies worldwide, purported to tell
of her experiences in Jordan where a friend, Dalia, had been stabbed
to death by her father after she had fallen in love with a Christian
man. Khouri claimed to have fled Jordan to Australia after being
targeted with a fatwah over her campaign against honour killings.
In reality she seems to have left Chicago in 1999 one step ahead of
the FBI who wanted her for questioning over property transactions and
other assorted frauds. Director Anna Broinowski, who made the 2004
success
Helen=92s War about Helen Caldicott, has been
able to get remarkable access to Khouri (or rather Norma Bagain) who
emerges as a charismatic and manipulative figure, as well as to her
victims and the law enforcement agencies she has left in her wake. A
real-life literary thriller.
I am excited by the magnificent scope of geography, culture, people
and politics opened up by Norma=92s story. I am also interested in the
delightful symbiosis that exists between the con-artist and the
filmmaker.
Both use a million imperceptible deceptions to manipulate the way
people think. Both are in the business of making illusions real.
