2012, what a time to be alive. A hit gameshow had started in Columbia and before long there, was an American version, The premise of this show, was producers would do a deep dive into contestant lives, they would be subject to a intense personality test, and multiple polygraphs, they would interview friends and family, and incorporate themselves into their daily lives. Contestand would then sit down with the game show host, and they would be made to answer increasingly difficult personal questions about themselves and their families,. Only one contestant in the American version of the show won the grand prize of $500,000 but the question she would win would negatively scar her family for the rest of their lives.

In Peru, 19 year old Ruth Thalia Sayas Sanchez, would be the first contestant to play the extremly irresponsible game. the questions started out light enough, 'had she ever skipped class?' 'had she had any plastic surgery?' But as Ruth was winning, the questions were getting harder and harder. In the seats in front of her were her parents and her boyfriend Bryan. By round 4 her parents were in tears and her boyfriend leg was bouncing up and down with anxiety. But only one person could have predicted what would happen to Ruth Thalia after she had disgraced the people who she loved the most.

This is the case of The Value of Truth, and the murder of Ruth Thalia
