Born into a Hawaiian paradise, All-American football standout Manti Te'o leads a simple life summed up in just three words: faith, family, football. College football's golden boy could do no wrong, but when tragedy strikes, the increased scrutiny of his online relationship causes a media maelstrom that threatens his future and legacy. Featuring in-depth interviews with Manti Te’o and the person behind the online identity, Ronaiah ‘Naya’ Tuiasosopo.
"The first part of the second volume of 'Untold', an anthology of documentaries exploring controversial stories from the world of sports. In 'Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist', we learn more about the scandal surrounding college football player Manti Te'o, who had a promising future and projected a perfect image... until truths about his virtual relationship came to light, triggering a media storm that threatened his future. What's interesting about the documentary is that it shows both sides of the coin, illustrating the ways in which media scrutiny and the anonymity of social networks can harm a person."
