The true story behind the documentary The Imposter almost sounds stranger than fiction. In 1997, French con man Frédéric Bourdin pretended to be Nicholas Barclay, a 13-year-old boy who had been missing for four years. Despite being much older than the boy at the time and having darker features, Bourdin scammed the Barclay family into believing that he was their long lost son who had escaped from a child prostitution ring. After being imprisoned for passport fraud and perjury, he continued pretending to be lost children several more times.
