The Silent Twins / June & Jennifer Gibbons - Part 1

The Silent Twins / June & Jennifer Gibbons - Part 1

From a very early age, identical twins Jennifer and June Gibbons were insular. They created their own secret language and refused to talk to anyone else. Following a conviction for burglary and arson during their late teens, they were both sent to Broadmoor psychiatric hospital. This selective muteness would leave them trapped in the secure facility, on a cocktail of antipsychotic medication, for 11 years. But when they heard that they were being released, they both reached an agreement that one twin should lead a normal life. Tragically, their decision would have fatal consequences... (Part 1 of 2).
