Three Identical Strangers (USA, 2018, documentary, 96 minutes)
English • Director: Tim Wardle

Through a series of coincidences, three complete strangers discover they are identical triplets who were separated at birth and adopted by different families. Though they lived within 100 miles of each other, the triplets and their families did not know of the others’ existence. This remarkable documentary follows the chain of events set in motion by their serendipitous reunion, unearthing an extraordinary and disturbing secret that transcends the triplets’ own incredible story.

Winner: Special Jury Prize, Sundance Film Festival
