FWIW, BBC has confirmed the live stream inside the ATR was real. The man’s family verified his identity when they saw the video, and he was on the a/c. I thought it had to be fake too till I saw that. Take from that what you will.

Could be a control hardover (737s used to have this problem).
Could be engine out => Vmc
Could be loss of prop control => beta
Juan Brown thinks it's stall spin, but my calibrated eyeball can't really tell me the AoA from that video. I can't see much other than that it banked and rolled left, I'm sure the tech folks will be able to zoom in and get a lot more frame by frame. The data recorders should have the story too.
