Twins Alex and Marcus Lewis share new details about their big family secret and the aftermath of the reveal.
But after the death of their parents, Alex began questioning everything Marcus told him about their youth.
The twins spoke to EW about their experience shooting the documentary and how it has changed their lives forever.
Netflix
Alex wrote a piece in a British newspaper about our story which led to us writing a book.
Seven years later, we were approached by Simon Chinn and Ed Perkins to do a movie.
I said we had been abused by mummy and that other people had abused us.
So he kind of knew but in a very generic way and he wanted more.
I think that doing the documentary helped me have a voice that I hadnt had in the book.
I got so much more from him in the documentary, which gave me full closure.
I said to Alex, Are we done?
and Alex said, Were done so now its finished.
It was an amazing moment because we had been searching for it for a long time.
We didnt know that was going to happen that day, that wed get that closure but we did.
In the documentary, you discuss that there were prominent people who molested you as children.
The other people were nameless, faceless people who are probably dead or in their 90s.
Alex and I feel that we want to move forward.
We dont want any negativity, we dont want to go backward.
We had this really large house, our parents slept in different sections of it.
Our step-father was so much older than our mother, they were 30 years apart in age.
We spoke when we were spoken to, when we were allowed.
We called our step-father sir.
For us, that was great because we had our own little spaceour safe space.
The shed was kind of shitty and it didnt have any heating or lighting but it was still ours.
We felt safer there than we did in the house.
First, our step-father died and then our mother.
We didnt know anything else.
We were 7 when she married him.
Our real father died picking us up from the hospital.
He came to pick us up when we were two or three days old.
I had a chest infection so I stayed in the hospital.
Alex:I went through the windshield, too.
I had multiple head injuries and was in a coma on a life machine.
My dad was on a life support machine that was turned off after 10 days.
I came out of the coma, eventually but he doesnt.
So thats how I started my life.
So both played a role in my memory loss.
Throughout my 20s, I tried everything I could find like hypnosis to help me get my memory back.
I now know I didnt need those memories back, so Im glad that none of them worked.
You could view this as a gift.
Where were they when all this was happening to you?Marcus:They were always around.
Theyre who we call our guardian angels.
They were the ones who took us on vacation.
These were three or four families that looked out for us.
We did not have access to our real families.
They felt this need to look after us but didnt know why.
So wed go to their house for dinner or go on vacations with them.
We had to go into this fantasy and give her everything.
Therefore, I got to a point where I didnt believe I had been abused.
I created this false life for me, as well.
So I knew that telling him was telling me.
Tell Me Who I Amis currently available to watch on Netflix.
