Sometimes the truth really is stranger than fiction.

And real life stories don’t come stranger than Three Identical Strangers, which opens at The Triskel on January 18th, 2019.

This documentary tells the astonishing story of three men who make the chance discovery, at the age of 19, that they are identical triplets, separated at birth and adopted to different parents.

Set in 1980s New York, the film follows Edward Galland, David Kellman and Robert Shafran as they reconnect as teenagers and embark on a life of stardom… before figuring out the sinister reason they were intentionally placed with families at different economic levels.

Described as “an engrossing, heartbreaking journey” by the Globe and Mail, Three Identical Strangers opens at The Triskel Christchurch on Friday, January 18th, tickets €9.50/€7.50 here.
