What would you do if one day you met yourself? Same face, hair, body, height, voice. Same you. Just standing in front of you. Sounds like a creepy sci-fi story, but this time, I have a documentary for you. And since it’s a documentary, this weird situation has actually happened. One day Robert Shafran met Edward Galland who was an absolute copy of him. As if those two were looking in the mirror. But the creepy story isn’t over. Soon they would find out there’s David Kellman out there, another copy-paste of Robert and Edward. I wish I could tell you step by step how they all met, but it’s actually a very interesting part and it’s better if you hear it from them. In the film they explain everything from the beginning. It turns out they are all brothers. They were abandoned by their mother and somehow separated later. Each one of them was adopted by a different family. What’s more, those families didn’t know they were adopting one of the triplets. You already have goosebumps? Let me tell you more! Those guys were separated on purpose. Certain people thought it would be a great idea to use the children as lab rats. Each boy was placed in a family on a different economic level and regularly tested. They wanted to find out whether the personality of each triplet depends on their nature or nurture. If it’s nature, all the men should be exactly the same no matter where they grew up. If it’s nurture, then each of them should be totally different even if they all have the same genes. If you want to know what’s the answer, you need to watch the film. Personally, I was moved by the whole story. Because Eddie, Bobby and David aren’t the only brothers who were separated for the sake the experiment. There are more twins/triplets out there who don’t even know about their sisters and brothers. It’s a very emotional production and I finished it with my eyes wide open. And I love the question that is asked during it: is it better for those twins to know the truth or be protected from it?
My rating: 9/10
