This is the incredible tale of a young woman and radio presenter, Kirat Assi, from the South Asian community. She falls for a man she meets online, only to find herself swept up in a virtual relationship that upends her life for years, in this shocking feature-length documentary film.
One reason Assi, at 44, wanted tell her story through the documentary was to raise awareness of lack of legal protections for catfishing victims. “I wanted to help break the stigma, to stop victims from being shamed,” Assi says in the doc.”We need to understand why the internet should be regulated.”
