Columbia, 1988. Due to an oversight in a hospital nursery, one twin in each pair of idential twin brothers was switched with a twin in the other pair. Jorge and Carlos were raised in the city of Bogotá; William and Wilber were raised in the rural village of La Paz, 150 miles away. Their parents and siblings were aware of the physical and behavioral differences between the members of each set, but never doubted that the two belonged in their biological families-- until the truth was discovered in 2013. Segal and Montoya examine the power of nature and nurture, and its consequences on our lives. -- adapted from jacket
