2016 - 16: The Wolfpack

Tucked away in Manhattan's Lower East Side, a family with seven children lived together in a small apartment for more than a decade, but almost no one knew they existed. The children - one daughter and six sons - were raised in four small rooms, homeschooled by their mother and trapped by their father, who allowed them to leave the apartment they shared only for rare, closely supervised outings. Until one day in January 2010, when one son, Mukunda, a middle child who was 15 at the time, found the courage to break free. The story of the Angulo family was revealed through the award-winning documentary "The Wolfpack," focusing on the six brothers - Bhagavan, Govinda, Narayana, Mukunda, Krisna (now Glenn) and Jagadesh (now Eddie) - then ages 11 to 18, and their unusual upbringing, along with their passion for movies, so intense that they copied down entire scripts, constructed costumes and props, memorized lines and acted out entire scenes.
