Just watched the documentary "Catfish". The movie begins as a cute story about Nev, a 24year old New York photographer and his platonic Facebook correspondence with Abby, an 8 year old girl living in Michigan. Abby found him through Facebook, after seeing one of his photos on the net. She then sends him one of her paintings and they start chatting back and forth. Nev befriends the whole family, including Abby's Mom and older sister Megan. Not surprising, things are not what they seem.......as their story progresses societal questions come up about social media, privacy, identity and ethics....found the movie very interesting and at the same time troubling, too!
