Rainman Twins

97% 49MIN

From the moment they were born, Flo and Kay Lyman were unlike any sisters on planet earth. Thought to be mentally disabled, they were tormented by kids and survived a near-death experience at the hands of their own mother. What no one realized is that Flo and Kay are among the most brilliant people the world has ever seen. This is the untold story of the only identical twin autistic savant sisters known to exist. Over a span of 50 years, Flo and Kay have memorized the world around them. They never forget a date, never forget a song, never forget what they eat, never forget the weather on any day. Their recall is remarkable, their rituals are riveting. From documenting what dozens of news and talk show hosts wear each day to their obsession with Dick Clark and the 100-Thousand Dollar Pyramid, Flo and Kay’s world is unique. On the night of his comeback to Times Square, Flo and Kay journey to New York for a glimpse of the man they call their “personal savior”. Three months later, the world as they know it would come to a tragic crossroads. From outgoing and outrageous to resilient and resolute, this is a story of brilliance, love and devotion. You’ll never forget them…and they’ll never forget you.
