Catfish

This documentary is about Nev and a woman that he meet online and her name is Megan. This began when he received a painting from a photo. The artist is named Abby and she was around 10 years old. I don't remembered who contacted who, but Nev began talking to Abby's mom, Angela. Eventually he became Facebook friends with the whole family. He began talking to Megan and started a friendly flirtatious relationship. I'm pretty sure Nev was falling for her. Megan would sing and record songs, then send them to him. One day they investigate the songs and it turns out that she would get the recordings from YouTube. They also begin to realize all the lies that have been told by them. They surprise visit the family. Angela is hesitant to open the door. When they meet she tells them that she has uterine cancer and is going under chemotherapy. Angela doesn't know they are onto her, so she take them to meet Abby. Nev asks Abby if she paints and she's all like whaaaat? Turns our Abby isn't the one painting. They go out and take Abby to the stables, where Angela tells them that Megan is at Dawn Farms Rehab Center. After this, they go back Angela's house and she confesses that ALL the Facebook accounts were being controlled by her. They make their peace and finally Nev heads home. At the end of the documentary, it is revealed Angela doesn't have uterine Cancer and that Megan is not at Dawn Farms. Her real name is Aimee Gonzales and she has a life of her own. Angela was dissatisfied with her life. She married Vince and helps him with his two mentally disabled twins. She explains that she sacrificed her career to marry and help him. The Facebook accounts helped her come to base to what she could've been but isn't. This documentary exposes how people can trust strangers they met online. Also, how gullible they can be.
