Twinsters is a 2015 documentary film which covers the true-life story of identical twin sisters, separated at birth, discovering each other on-line, meeting, confirming their identity with a DNA test, and exploring aspects of their background together.
Background
Anaïs Bordier is a French student studying in the UK. She is sitting on a London bus when a friend sends her a still picture from a YouTube video. She is amazed by the physical similarity of the American woman in the video to herself, but fails to find more information. Some weeks later, she receives the trailer of the film 21 & Over, which features the same woman. After some research, she finds that her doppelganger is actress Samantha Futerman, who like her was born in South Korea and adopted as a baby. She is also shocked to find that they have the same date of birth, so she reaches out to her potential twin via Facebook.[1]
