The filmmaker made a documentary named “The Twinning Reaction.” The movie is about helping twins getting their answers from the agency. The once separated twins narrate their story about how they felt after getting separated. 

Fighting For Answers

All the information extracted from the study is kept in Yale University and is sealed for the next 40 years. But Howard and Doug were hell-bent on getting their answers so they went on to hire a lawyer. 

Separated For Good

The result showed that the two stayed together for six months after their birth. However, both of them were adopted out to different families leading to their separation. Resultantly signs of distress were seen in both of them. Unfortunately, that was not it. 

Consequences

What worse their motor dexterity too declined. Clearly, Doug and Howard both suffered separation anxiety. Their parents who had no idea what was going on were very much stressed by their inexplicable behavior. 

Repercussions

Their anxiety did not limit to it. They even began to rock. Scaringly, one of them went on to beat his head until he turned 2. Their condition had only gotten worse under this “nature vs nurture” study.
