THE WOLFPACK Documentary Trailer and Poster

This week we have another Sundance film making its debut in theaters. The winner of the Grand Jury Prize, acclaimed documentary "The Wolfpack" is getting a limited released today, so here are the official trailer and poster. The film follows the Angulo brothers who were locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and discovered about the outside world through the films that they watch. Nicknamed the Wolfpack, the brothers spend their childhood re-enacting their favorite films using elaborate homemade props and costumes. Their world is shaken up when one of the brothers escapes and everything changes.

Director Crystal Moselle met the brothers in 2010 through a chance encounter as they were walking down New York City's First Avenue, and became friends with them. She later learned about their isolated life and decided to pursue their story with financial support and assistance provided by The Tribeca Film Institute.

Check out the trailer and poster after the jump.

Official Synopsis

"Locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Angulo brothers learn about the outside world through the films that they watch. Nicknamed the Wolfpack, the brothers spend their childhood re-enacting their favorite films 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. The Wolfpack must learn how to integrate into society without disbanding the brotherhood."
