Trust Me

Trust Me goes straight into some of the most important questions we can ask as human beings: What is a human being's identity? What is trust and credibility? And what happens when trust and confidence are abused, or used to cover up lies? In addition to illuminating these thematic motifs, the film is a fast-paced, well-told story.

It's about authenticity and lies, about scams and persuasion strategies, and about identity and cheating. The story of the young swindler Waleed Ahmed is almost bigger than life. Although it is primarily about how to cheat your way to fast money, and about how a financial balloon is inflated to larger and larger dimensions until it bursts, the film also asks questions that are important far beyond the business world.
