The documentary Little White Lie is centered on Lacey Schwartz, a Harvard law student, who grew up in an American Jewish family being told and believing she was white. As Lacey enters adolescence, she begins to grapple with her ggivenh identity, as well as the web of lies on which she perceives it to have been built. Watching this film with a critical eye and discussing implications when autobiographical memory is not allow to develop, e.g., discomfort, stagnancy, and pathology, helps clinicians to become more comfortable discussing race and ethnicity, better understand how autobiographical memory contributes to identity formation, and recognize the potential psychological consequences if critical elements of identity are ignored.
