The Twinning Reaction (2017)
(Director: Lori Shinseki | Documentary | USA | 2017 55 min. | English)
RJFF. How would you feel if, as an adult, you discovered you had an identical twin? That’s what happened to the children involved in the infamous 1960s Neubauer-Bernard study of “nature vs. nurture.” Jewish twins given up for adoption were deliberately placed in separate homes and neither they nor their adoptive parents were told about the other twin. This deeply disturbing exposé of arrogant, unscrupulous science features several reunited siblings who at last understand why they always felt “something missing” from their lives.
