"Catfish" is a 2010 documentary film directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. It follows Nev Schulman, a young photographer who develops an online relationship with a woman named Megan Faccio. As he delves deeper into their connection, he discovers that Megan's identity is not what it seems.
The film explores themes of deception, identity, and the impact of social media on relationships. It raises questions about authenticity in online interactions and the lengths people go to create alternate personas. "Catfish" has since inspired a popular television series of the same name, further examining similar stories of online deception.
