Imagine it’s your first day of college. You walk into campus and someone calls out to you, but by a different name. This keeps happening through the day, only for you to realise that there’s someone who looks exactly like you already in this college.

Imagine finding out that this person is your long lost twin.

Now imagine getting a call to meet a third person (a stranger, mind you) who looks exactly like you. And finding out this person another long lost twin.

That’s exactly the story that the new documentary Three Identical Strangers tells.

This mind-bending true story just released, and it’s already making waves. 

Eddy Galland, David Kellman and Robert Shafran were identical triplets who were separated at birth and adopted by different families. 

They ended up meeting through a series of random events.

At least it would appear random. People are in a tizzy over the dark and twisted tone of the tale. There’s unbelievable plot twists, incredible coincidences and some truly shocking moments.

As a look at the trailer will show you, their story wasn’t just one of miraculous reunions. Their origins are as murky as their life was eventful.

It might look like a feel-good story at first, but as things unfold, you’ll realise that this is a disturbing, controversial sequence of events involving everything from the invasion of privacy to human experimentation.
