Parallel Lives
“Five people born on June 8, 1964 – Five lives, five countries, five decades.”
2021•2h 19m•Released
Documentary
Born June 8, 1964, Frank Matter films four "twins", born the same day as him, but in other latitudes. Interweaving their life stories with rich archival material, the filmmaker links these Parallel Lives with elements from his own biography, to compose a fascinating fresco where intimate trajectories are part of the advent of the global village.
