Directed by Crystal Moselle

The six Angulo brothers have spent their entire lives locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. They’re all exceedingly bright, homeschooled, have no acquaintances outside their family, and have practically never left their home. All they know of the outside world is gleaned from the films they watch obsessively and recreate meticulously, using elaborate homemade props and costumes. For years this has served as a productive creative outlet and a way to stave off loneliness—but after one of the brothers escapes the apartment, the power dynamics in the house are transformed, and all the boys begin to dream of venturing out. The Wolfpack charts a fascinating coming of age story and becomes a true example of the power of movies to transform and save lives. (2K DCP Presentation)
