Grand Prize winner for best documentary at Sundance, the film charts an incredible coming of age story and becomes a true example of the power of movies to transform and save lives. Locked away from society in an apartment in Manhattan, the Angulo brothers and learn about the outside world through the films that they watch. Nicknamed The Wolfpack, the brothers spend their childhood re-enacting their favorite films (Reservoir Dogs, The Dark Knight and The Nightmare Before Christmas) using elaborate homemade props and costumes. With no friends and living on welfare, they feed their curiosity, creativity, and imagination with film, which allows them to escape from their feelings of isolation and loneliness. Everything changes when one of the brothers escapes, and the power dynamics in the house are transformed.
