Synopsis

[edit]

Based on a true story from 1945 in Kyneton, Victoria, two baby girls are born within seconds of each other at the same hospital. In the months following, claims are made that the babies were switched at birth. A high court battle for legal custody of one of the children ensues, escalating to the court of appeal in the British Commonwealth, the Privy Council in London. The controversial story makes international news headlines.[2]
