TELL ME WHO I AM (360G-Wellcome-209245_Z_17_Z)

£5,000

Imagine waking up one day to discover that you have forgotten everything about your life. Your only link with the past, your only hope for the future, is your identical twin. Now imagine, years later, discovering that your twin had not told you the whole truth about your childhood, your family, and the forces that had shaped you. This has been Alex's reality: a world where memories are just the stories people tell you, where secrets are hiding around every corner. --- Based on a best-selling memoir, TELL ME WHO I AM is a documentary film from the Academy award-winning producer of SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN about identical twins Alex and Marcus Lewis. Combining interviews, archive and original footage, this film will take audiences on an extraordinary journey that reveals shocking betrayals, a secret tragedy and, above all, redemption founded on brotherly love. Touching upon themes such as trauma, mental health, and memory loss, the result is a voyage between the blurred boundaries of fact and fiction, memory and reality. A story that while often heartbreaking, is ultimately inspirational and life-affirming. TELL ME WHO I AM is about the bonds that allow us to survive.
