DVD Recommendation : Catfish

I got the chance to watch Catfish a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely loved it. I went into it not knowing much about the movie/documentary and I thought that was the best thing I could have done, so I'll try not to give too much away here. I got it for the school as I thought it would be a great DVD to show the students about Facebook and how not everyone on it, and online, are not always what they seem or what they tell you. A great lesson in cyber safety to be learnt here and overall a very interesting, entertaining and thrilling DVD to watch.

Blurb: 'Film makers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sense a story unfolding as they begin to film the life of Ariel's brother, Nev. They have no idea that their project will lead to the most exhilerating and unsettling months of their lives as they unravel an intriguing Facebook mystery. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue.
