How Tanita Tikaram became a Liar

In this intimate and beautifully unconventional 'anti-documentary', filmmaker Natacha Horn captures something more profound than a standard biography. Described by audiences as “one long hug”, the film moves beyond the facts of Tanita Tikaram’s life to offer a portrait that is deeply moving and genuinely cathartic.

Through Tanita’s own voice, we follow her reflections on fame, identity, and the journey of a brown, queer woman in the UK. The film navigates the whirlwind of her early global success and the distortion of public narratives.

Closely tied to her acclaimed album, LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right), the film is a quiet reclamation, moving through the shadows of fame to find something genuinely hopeful and human.
