The Wolfpack

It almost felt as if I had discovered a long lost tribe, except it was not from the edges of the world but from the streets of Manhattan. -Director Crystal Moselle on The Wolfpack

This is an incredible true story about 7 children (6 boys, 1 girl) who grew up in an apartment on New York's Lower East Side. Their paranoid father kept them in the apartment for fourteen years because he feared the city would contaminate them. They were seldom allowed to venture into the outside world.

They were homeschooled by their mother and learned about the larger world through the movies of Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Lloyd and Martin Scorcese. Over the years they watched about 5000 films and amused themselves by re-enacting favorite movies. Their movie reconstructions were elaborate - at one point, two of the brothers recreated Batman: Dark Knight Rises costumes out of no more than cereal boxes and yoga mats.

I want to see the documentary by director Crystal Moselle, titled The Wolfpack which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah last month.
