12. Three Identical Strangers (2018)

Coincidence or conspiracy? Three Identical Strangers is a reminder that nothing is as it seems and there are always forces at play dictating your life. Whether that’s human forces or other is another question.

The film is about three teenage brothers separated from birth who discover each other and the fact that they are identical triplets. What starts off as a warming film about long lost family coming together and brothers discovering tight family bonds takes a swift turn as the filmmakers explore the darker undertones in the lives of these siblings. There are questions as to why they were split up, the mental health problems that followed them and a bleak conspiracy that saw an adoption agency play with human lives.

Three Identical Strangers discusses the nature vs nurture debate and ultimately makes you question the structures around you. The less you know about this film before watching, the better, it’s one of the best documentaries of recent years.
