other's existence who reunite by coincidence in 1980 new york when they're 19. the film then explores what happens next, that they become famous and go on lots of talks shows but also goes back in time to explore the very sinister reasons behind their separation. >> and i want to talk more about that. i actually do remember them from the talk show circuit, you know, from awhile ago. but it is a heartwarming story. but as you said, you call it sinister. there's a serious investigation into some pretty disturbing secrets. it had to be challenging to put all these pieces together and to find out what happened to these boys. >> it was really challenging, partially because beyond their initial reunion, there wasn't that much information about them available. you know, this is not a story that exists in a pre-internet era. it's not something you can research on the internet. we had to do a lot of old-fashioned door knocking and looking through archives to piece this story together.
