Horizon S55E07 - A Week Without Lying - The Honesty Experiment

Episode Overview

Deception is a fundamental aspect of human behavior, with studies suggesting we lie as many as nine times daily. But what if we could create a reality where lying was impossible? In an innovative experiment, leading scientists from Europe unite to make this vision a reality. Using cutting-edge technology, they will enable three British participants to be incapable of lying undetected. These individuals will face the challenge of spending an entire week without uttering a single falsehood. This daring social experiment aims to explore the significance of deception, its effects on mental well-being, and the implications for personal relationships, questioning whether a world without lies would be better or worse.
