The Wolfpack
Overview
Crystal Moselle's documentary THE WOLFPACK tells the story of the Angulo brothers, siblings who spent their childhood never leaving their Lower East Side apartment. Their limited connection to the outside world came in the form of movies, and they would entertain themselves by reenacting what they saw on the screen. Eventually, one of them frees himself, and that event triggers profound changes in all of them.
