Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara, a new documentary chronicling how a hacker stole an indie rocker’s identity and has been impersonating them for more than a decade, debuted Friday (Oct. 18) on Hulu.
In the documentary, Tegan and Sara Quin — identical twins best known as the indie-rock duo Tegan and Sarah — recount the “complex catfish scheme” that has terrorized them and fans for over 15 years.
The twins’ lives were turned upside down after Tegan’s personal information was hacked in 2011, but Fake Tegan (a.k.a. “Fegan”) has been impersonating the Canadian singer since around 2008. The hacker has yet to be identified.
