The documentary The Wolfpack is the acclaimed feature debut from filmmaker Crystal Moselle and the winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.
The six Angulo brothers have spent their entire lives locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Nicknamed “The Wolfpack,” they’re all exceedingly bright, are home-schooled, 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 (wearing a Michael Meyers mask for protection), the power dynamics in the house are transformed, and all the boys begin to dream of venturing out.
Armed with unprecedented access into the subjects’ world and vast archive of home movies, filmmaker Moselle crafts a portrait of this extraordinary family, capturing the thrill of the Wolfpack’s discoveries without skirting the darker questions of abuse and confinement that weigh upon all of them. If nothing else, the film acts as an example of the power of movies to transform and save lives.
