SXSW Hit 'Twinsters' Set for July 17 Release

Twinsters tells the extraordinary story of Samantha Futerman and Anaïs Bordier, identical twin sisters born in Korea, separated at birth, raised on two different continents, and miraculously reunited decades later through the power of the internet. It's a pretty darn incredible story, and it's all true.

In February 2013, Anaïs, a French fashion student living in London, discovered a YouTube video featuring Samantha, an actress in Los Angeles, and was struck by their uncanny resemblance. After discovering they were born on the same day in Korea and both put up for adoption, Anaïs reached out to Samantha via Facebook. Then... reunion! Joy! Tears! All caught on camera.

Here's the trailer again:

Feature documentary tells the true story of twins, separated at birth, and reunited through social media.



The feature documentary Twinsters tells the incredible true story of twin sisters Samantha Futerman and Anaïs Bordier -- two lives changed forever with just one click. Born in Korea, they were separated at birth and raised on two different continents with no knowledge of each other's existence, then reunited as adults through the power of the internet. The film follows Samantha and Anaïs as they meet in person for the very first time.

You may have heard about this story when the Sam and Anaïs were featured on Good Morning America, or during the release of their book, or perhaps during the much-publicized Kickstarter campaign for Twinsters. The film will finally have its world premiere next month, March 15, at South by Southwest.
