Directed by Academy Award nominated producer Marc Smolowitz, The Power Of Two is a story about love, life and survival. The film offers an intimate portrayal of the bond between half-Japanese identical twins, Anabel & Isabel Stenzel, their lifelong battle with the genetic lung disease cystic fibrosis, survival through miraculous double lung transplants, and improbable emergence as authors, athletes and global advocates for organ donation.
Featuring expert interviews, archival footage and deeply personal testimony from those whose lives have been impacted by chronic illness and organ transplantation from the U.S. and Japan, the film provides unprecedented insight into the personal and societal aspects of this modern medical miracle saving hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide.

Without question, The Power Of Two provides inspiration to anyone living with serious illness and those caring for them, by enlightening viewers about the twin bond, living with illness, patient advocacy, and cultural influences on health.
