WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

June (Wright) and Jennifer Gibbins (Lawrence) are twins who only communicate with each other, and regularly retreat into their own world of creative expression. However, when a vandalism spree puts the teenagers into the infamous Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, they are forced to decide whether to separate, or die together…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The incredible true story of twins June and Jennifer Gibbins, whose unique method of communication baffled the world, is dramatized in typically eccentric fashion, with input from star and first-time producer Letitia Wright.
