‘Three Identical Strangers’ screened

MARQUETTE — DocuMonday presents a screening of the 2018 documentary “Three Identical Strangers” at 7 p.m. June 10 in the Peter White Public Library’s Community Room on the lower level of the library.

Director Tim Wardle tells the story of three young men, Robert Shafran, Eddy Galland, and David Kellman who while in college, accidentally discover that they are triplets, separated at birth. Their joyous reunion, however, is tempered by the sinister secret regarding the circumstances of their separation. Rated PG-13, this film runs 96 minutes.

“Three Identical Strangers” won 10 awards including the BAFTA Film Award for Best Documentary, the Most Compelling Living Subject of a Documentary from the Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards, and Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival.
