Wolves Like Us

Wolves Like Us Synopsis

In 2010, photographer Dan Martensen was introduced to the Angulo brothers by filmmaker Crystal Moselle, who had just begun work on the hit documentary, 'The Wolfpack'. Chronicling the lives of the six home-schooled boys who recreated cult-classic films, fashioning props, as well as costumes, all from the confines of their Lower East Side apartment (inside of which their father once locked them for a year), Moselle's unflinching portrayal documents the power of imagination to overcome the realities of a troubled upbringing. At the same time, Martensen began photographing the boys, capturing the cinema-inspired world they had created, while also documenting their first forays into the world outside.
