A The story of feeling good about Reagan America becomes much more bleak and complex in this documentary by British director Tim Wardle, which draws on the work of New York investigative journalist Laurence Wright.
In 1980, three triplets, individually delivered for adoption to different families 18 years ago, were accidentally and ecstatically united by an extraordinary quirk of fate. It's as striking as a science-fiction first-contact. They had no idea of everyone's existence, any more than their adoptive families.
David Kellman, Eddy Galland and Bobby Shafran have become huge media stars: handsome, pretty and intelligent Jewish American boys who saw no reason not to appreciate the spotlight. They were in every TV show and newsstand and for 15 minutes, for 14 minutes, they had become America's favorites. But then, their adoptive parents angrily asked why they had been separated in this way, deprived of their existence.
After a tense confrontation with the evasive officials of the adoption agency, a step-parent returned to the conference room to find those people drinking champagne, just as the disasters characters from a story of Ira Levin. The terrible truth is that the boys were deliberately separated, as were many other groups of adoptive twins (although no other adoptive triplets are known) at the request of the distinguished psychologist Peter B Neubauer, who had set up puts a secret research project on the nature and nature debate.
His discoveries have never been published and the identity of the "private charities of Washington" that funded this scary stratagem remains a mystery. Why did Neubauer suppress his own work? Was it because, himself a Nazi refugee of Swiss origin, he worried more and more about what would experimentation look like on Jewish triplets? Or was he worried that the results would be biased and worthless?
Who knows? But Wardle tells a fascinating story of the three happy boys who became three unhappy men, their faces shining with a kind of ecstasy in their youth, and then darkened by sadness and confusion in the middle ages.
