6. The Wolfpack
Site rank 6, IMDb rank 4; Overall Score = 10
Directed by Crystal Moselle
The idea of homeschooling and children isolated from the outside world is usually associated with a lone homestead in remote rural location. The notion that a family with seven children can do it in one of the most densely populated areas on the planet is somewhat disturbing. The Angulo family did just that. They brought up their kids (6 sons and a daughter) in an apartment in Manhattan’s Lower East Side in complete isolation from the rest of the world. Their only window were the movies and their way of coping with their situation was reenacting the scenes from them and creating new stories for their favorite characters.
