What's the plot?
The documentary chronicles the story of Alex Lewis, who suffered memory loss after an accident. Its IMDb description reads: "Alex Lewis trusts his twin brother, Marcus, to tell him about his past only to discover that he's hiding a dark secret about their childhood."
EccyReviews, who watches and critiques films and television programmes across his social media channels, recommended the documentary to his followers. He said: "You're going to be running to Netflix to go and watch this documentary because it is one of the most insane stories you will ever hear."
"Everyone I know who's seen this documentary cannot stop talking about it. The documentary I'm talking about is called Tell Me Who I Am. It follows a young man who after a motorcycle accident, wakes up to find he has lost his complete memory."
"He doesn't know who his brother is, who his father is or even his own mother. And when he returns home he knows that there is something strange going on in his house."
Viewer reactions
"After years and years of never really speaking about his past, he meets up with his brother across this table to find out his entire backstory. Now it is genuinely disturbing, emotional and jaw dropping once you hear what happened to him. And honestly, if you haven't seen this documentary you are massively missing out. So get it on your watch list right now," EccyReviews added.
Commenting on the recommendation, one TikTok user said: "I don’t have the patience to watch full documentaries, but this actually had me glued to the tele, it’s so disturbing because it’s true, I'll ask the question for everyone, would you have told him?"
Another added: "What an incredible story. Heartbreaking. An incredible watch." A third user said: "Watched this before and highly recommend... it's so upsetting in parts but will keep you hooked."
For those who prefer reading, the book version of Tell Me Who I Am is also available to purchase, having become a Sunday Times bestseller.
