Three Identical Strangers

The documentary follows three young men who found each other by chance and realised they were identical triplets adopted separately as infants. Their joyful reunion gives way to a darker discovery: their separation was engineered as part of a covert study on nature versus nurture.

The film raises hard questions about identity, family, and the ethics of experimenting on human lives, tracing the wreckage the study left behind. It is a striking case for discussions of research ethics, attachment, and what is shared and what is shaped. It received a Special Jury Award for Storytelling in the documentary category at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
