What: In this wonderful documentary with a terrible title, a young woman living in France and one living in California stumble across each other thanks to social media. They begin to suspect that they are actually twins who were separated at birth.
What starts out like a particularly twist-filled episode of a genealogical detection series like Who Do You Think You Are shifts somewhere along the way into an incisive look at what it means to belong to a family and a country and a person. Fascinating and lovely.
Representative quote: "Our names are Samantha Futerman and Anais Bordier. We grew up our entire lives without knowing about each other. We believe that you are our mother."
Similar to: Twinsters would make a smashing double feature with Sarah Polley's doc Stories We Tell (Rec. #343).
How to get it: Streaming on Netflix
