Airdate: Tell Me Who I Am

Netflix documentary Tell Me Who I Am charts the amazing true story of a young man who awoke from a coma with no memory -except for recognising his twin brother.

And there’s more twists to come…

When 18-year-old Alex Lewis wakes up from a coma after surviving a motorcycle accident, the world is not one he remembers. He has forgotten everything. His home. His parents. He can’t even remember his own name. The only thing he does know is that the person sitting next to him is his identical twin brother, Marcus. Alex relies on Marcus to to give him his memory back; to tell him who he is. But the idyllic childhood Marcus paints for his twin conceals a dark family secret. Now, after decades of hiding the painful realities of their past, Alex and Marcus go on a journey together to face the truth and finally discover who Alex really is. Directed by Ed Perkins, Tell Me Who I Am explores the blurred boundaries of memory and reality, and the emotional bonds that allow us to survive.

Friday October 18 on Netflix.
