Three Identical Strangers
The most amazing, incredible, remarkable true story ever told.
Directed by Tim Wardle
Produced by RAW
A deeply unsettling true-crime documentary that begins as a joyful reunion story but pivots into an exploration of scientific ethics, psychological manipulation, and the nature versus nurture debate.
New York, 1980. Three complete strangers accidentally discover that they're identical triplets, separated at birth. The 19-year-olds' joyous reunion catapults them to international fame, but also unlocks an extraordinary and disturbing secret that goes beyond their own lives – and could transform our understanding of human nature forever.
