It\u2019s a real-life story so wild you have to see it to believe it. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Brock University Film Society\u2019s (BUFS) next offering,<\/span> Three Identical Strangers<\/span><\/em>, is an exuberant celebration of family that transforms into a thriller and proves life is truly is stranger than fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tim Wardle\u2019s 2018 documentary tells the true tale of three teens who, brought together by an astonishing coincidence, discover they are identical triplets separated at birth and adopted by three different families. Their jaw-dropping, feel-good story instantly becomes a global sensation complete with fame and celebrity, however, the fairy-tale reunion also sets in motion a series of events that unearth a shocking secret with radical repercussions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Three Identical Strangers<\/em> <\/span>will be screened Thursday, Oct. 25 at the Film House in downtown St. Catharines.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Toronto Star<\/span><\/em>\u2019s Peter Howell says the film has a \u201cstory so outlandish it might well have been rejected by a Hollywood studio had a screenwriter pitched it as the basis of a fictional movie.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
