Film Club - Three Identical Strangers - Saturday 4 December 2021

Thank you to all who attended our Film Club presentation of Three Identical Strangers on Saturday 4 December 2021.

As a synopsis, the film describes how Bobby Shafran discovered that he had a twin brother when he arrived on the campus of a New York community college. The two met and, knowing that they'd been adopted, quickly concluded that they were twins. Months later, the publicity of this human-interest story reached David Kellman, whose resemblance and matching adoption circumstances indicated that the three were triplets.
