film website
This is the first time that the irrepressible Kiwi entertainment double act, Jools and Lynda Topp's extraordinary personal story has been told. The film offers a revealing look into the lives of the World's only comedic, country singing, dancing, and yodeling lesbian twin sisters. With fans ranging from hard core political activists, to sheep farmers and 'Ladies who Lunch' the twins have the ability to relate to all kinds of people, and their natural gift for humour, has helped them cross from the fringes to the mainstream. It has often been said that if the story of the Twins was fictional nobody would believe it. From rural backwaters and busking on the streets of Auckland, to headlining on the stages of London’s West End, their appeal is infectious. The twins have morphed from radical activists into Kiwi 'national treasures', and 'cultural ambassadors. According to 'Variety' this documentary will have you 'falling in love with two of the crazier people you've never met'.
