Fascinating doco. You find yourself willing them on to 'gel' and live great lives once they've discovered each other, but genetics isn't always enough.
What I thought would be a light and easy watch turned out to be very dark.
Mental illness, suicide, unethical experiments on children, lies and cover ups by powerful people.
Interesting, but not fun.

I was vaguely aware of this story, and I expected it to be a feel-good documentary about how the triplets found each other after being separated shortly after birth. Well, that's all covered in the first 30 minutes. The last hour, as…

The ever intriguing question: which is more important to development of the human mind, nature or nuture? is partially answered in this documentary. Those who really like to dig deep on what shapes us as a person will enjoy this. I do…

As I was watching this documentary I began to remember this story from my childhood and youth. The line on the box might cause you to raise your expectations for this a bit too high to thoroughly enjoy and one of the conclusions of their…
Great documentary filled with mystery and investigative reporting. I never knew about this story until after I watched this documentary, but I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout this whole film. At first it sounds like it would be…
I liked this Biography Documentary DVD. It was comprehensive and informative. The astonishing true story of three men who make the chance discovery, at the age of nineteen, that they are identical triplets, separated at birth and adopted…

A belated documentary about a set of identical triplets, primarily between 1980, when they turned 19, to 1995 when one of them departed. Their separation at birth reminds me of the discussions on identical twins in the 2017 novel "The Girl…

Truth is indeed stranger than fiction...What starts out as a feel good story turns into a horror story, led by Dr. Neubauer, a Jewish doctor who wants to be a Junior Varsity Dr. Mengele of Auschwitz fame and an equally sleazy adoption…

OMG!!! This is an amazing documentary. I did not know the full story before watching and as person with training as a clinical child psychologist, I was absolutely amazed at the breach of ethics depicted. The film begins as a…

I really liked this documentary! Even though it does not provide direct answers to the questions it tries to address it certainly gives a lot to think about!

Plenty has already been written and this film should certainly be viewed for its fascinating though heartbreaking story. What I didn't appreciate was the filmmakers inserting speculation about nature vs. nurture, which in this biography…
