I Dream of Chang and Eng tells the story of Chang and Eng Bunker, the original "Siamese twins," whose early lives were spent touring in a 'freak' exhibition. Charismatic and canny, they bought out their contract and toured themselves around the world, advising the King of Siam and carousing with English aristocracy before settling down on a Southern plantation, marrying sisters and fathering 21 children between them. This is the story of two people who were singled out as "freaks" by conventional society, but got the last laugh as they ultimately used this classification to their own gain.
