Fanatical: The Catfishing Of Tegan and Sara

5.5 | 1h39m | en | Documentary

With 10 studio albums to their name, Canadian pop duo and twin sisters Tegan and Sara Quin are trailblazers both as openly queer performers and as artists who were quick to embrace social media in its nascent era. Tegan and Sara became known for being accessible to their fans and cultivating a safe space, especially for young LGBTQ+ women, some of whom saw themselves reflected in pop music for the first time. Around 2010, social media profiles claiming to be Tegan started popping up. An anonymous, catfishing person connected with people in the fan community, forming friendships, and online romances, sharing personal information of Tegan’s and fabricating stories of her bad behaviour. More than just a portrait of Tegan and Sara’s global ascent and their influence and advocacy in the music industry, this documentary film charts the evolution of social media’s impact on fame and fandom through the duo’s years-long victimization and harassment at the hands of this “fan.”
