The must-see documentary of the season! Locked away in their apartment for years, seven siblings find refuge in recreating classic movie scenes, putting together costumes and sets and acting out every single part. The earth-shattering revelation of their everyday drama is beyond your wildest imagination. 

An unbelievable but shockingly true story: seven siblings, who grew up locked in a downtown NY apartment without ever setting foot outside, live their lives through movies: pretending to be cowboys and Indians, cons and cops. Until one of them escapes the family stranglehold, turning everything upside down. "A lost tribe in the heart of Manhattan" is what filmmaker Crystal Moselle thought immediately after she came across the Angulo brothers. "The Wolfpack" follows their captive existence every step of the way, until their first reluctant foray into the outside world. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, the film met with wide critical acclaim and is undoubtedly one of the must-see items in this year’s lineup.
