Deep Deception
They thought they’ d found their soulmate. They had no idea they were being spied on.
From the award-winning producers behind American Nightmare and Vatican Girl, Deep Deception will explore the jaw-dropping story of five women who exposed a staggering state scandal.
Each of the women thought they’ d met their perfect partner – someone to build a life with and have children. But after a while, in some cases years later, the men started to behave strangely. Then they vanished, leaving a note saying that the relationship was over.
These men were in fact undercover police officers who had targeted the women for their links to activist groups. And they had been working from a set of guidelines and all using the same manipulative techniques.
Along with other victims, determined lawyers and investigative journalists, the women will reveal how their lives were stolen by these state-sponsored spies, and how, one by one, they uncovered the shocking truth.
