The double-lives of Corallee Collins-Annan

The double-lives of Corallee Collins-Annan

A book deal, a possible Netflix documentary and a tale of success in the face of adversity, was the life painted on social media by wannabe New Zealand lawyer Corallee Collins-Anan. In a tale that mirrors a Walter Mitty creation or a version of Inventing Anna, the reality seemed to be deceit, missing money and academic failings. In this episode of The Long Read, Steve Kilgallon sets out the life Collins-Anan painted for herself verses real life. You can read Steve's story here Need more great podcasts?
