Not in the usual sense (except perhaps for the strict father mentioned in another comment; we don't know how bad his methods were), but both the triplets and several others had their lives manipulated by non-relatives from infanthood in a way that caused some of them pain - which is why the documentary was made. And not only were they put in the potentially painful situation in the first place, there was also a number of people who saw them suffering throughout their childhoods and still chose to withhold information that might very well have led to their suffering being eased or even stopped.

You could say the siblings were stalked by the scientist testing them, but no modern day typical stalking.

Plenty of lying and deception but I don't think it rises to the level of gas lighting.

Around the 1 hour, 8-minute mark, there is a scene of one of the triplets shaving his face in the bathroom.

The method, in case somebody needs to know, is a gunshot.

In the first half of the documentary, the triplets talk about when they were young infants, how they would hit their heads against their cribs etc

No but there is some general talk of the Holocaust, from Jewish people discussing their history.

Without spoiling too much, there are bits of hope that people affected by the situation discussed in the movie will learn bits of the truth. However, many important questions will likely never be answered. People are left grieving and wondering what life would've been like had this not happened.
