This documentary is about a woman who was in a concentration camp during WWII. She and her identical twin sister came to the attention of Dr. Mengele, the Nazi doctor obsessed with human experimentation. As she and her sister were twins, they were spared from automatic gassing because he was particularly interested in experimenting on twins. Instead, they were submitted to a different type of torture and almost died at the hands of a man sworn to protect life.
The woman at the core of this movie was very vocal in her opinions, to the point of preaching with how many times it was described throughout the movie. I enjoyed hearing the story of her history, her twin's history, and the basics of how she lived her life after the war. However, it really got into detail about her life after the war and how she came to forgive the doctor for the atrocities he committed. Parts of that were interesting, but too much time was spent watching her repeat the same story incessantly.
10 words or less: Good idea, bad execution.
