Created by filmmaker Lacey Schwartz, Little White Lie is the story of Schwartz’s quest to figure out her identity and uncover a family secret.
Filmmaker Lacey Schwartz grew up in a typical upper middle class Jewish household in Woodstock, NY.

When she learned the truth about her biological father, she unlocked a powerful family secret.
