WE ALWAYS LIE TO STRANGERS

NYC PREMIERE The remote Ozark town of Branson, MO has long been a popular tourist attraction, drawing 7.5 million visitors to attend its more than 100 family-oriented musical/ variety shows. But as the economic crisis takes its toll on the traditionally middle-class clientele of the “Live Music Capital of the World,” Branson’s way of life comes under threat. Through the stories of four performing families, directors Schnack and Wilson offer an engaging portrait of contemporary America as the town ponders what’s to come.
