The seven Angulo siblings were kept locked up with their mother in an apartment in Manhattan, New York, for almost their entire upbringing. The children were home-schooled and were only allowed to leave the apartment once a year. The key to the home was controlled by the children’s father.
The Wolfpack changed everything
The children lived their lives by escaping into the world of the film. But when the documentary The Wolfpack was released in 2015, everything changed. The film depicted the family’s everyday life in the apartment.
– When the film is recorded, you think it’s over, with that it’s really not, says Mukunda Angulo, one of the brothers, in the documentary Dox: Main character.
He and his siblings went from a life of isolation to traveling the world promoting the film.
The documentaries changed their lives
In Dox: Main character, several people talk about successful documentaries they participated in and how the films changed their lives. Either for the better – or for a trauma in itself.
For Mukunda Angulo, the participation was overwhelming to say the least, but in a positive way. His experience inspired him to pursue a career in the television and film industry.
Watch the documentary Dox: Main character on SVT 2 on January 16, at 10.30 p.m. Or on SVT Play as of January 14.
