The Accidental Twins

2024

The Accidental Twins (2024) is a documentary – in Spanish – about the switching at birth of twins in Columbia.

Jorge Bernal was 25 when he was suddenly confronted by the possibility that his twin brother was not his biological brother.

In December 1988 two sets of twins were born – 1 set in Bogota and 1 set in the rural area of Santander.

Because of concerns about one of the babies born in Santander, the baby was transferred to the Bogota hospital. The baby who was returned to Santander was not the infant born there.

The documentary explores the difficulties the 4 young men – emotionally & psychologically - face as they realise the ramifications of the discovery.


Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
