Answer the questions.
1 Who are the other members of the family? What do

you learn about them?

'Watchingfilms wasn't just an escape from the outside
world, it was their world.'
3 Which film tells the story of their lives?
4 What or who do these adjectives refer to?
astonishing cool dark eccentric messy
overcrowded reclusive thrilling tyrannical
3 Read the rest of the article. Are these statements about the
family's story true (I') or false()()? Correct the false ones.
1 The parents, Oscar and Susanne, are American.
2 They met in New York, where Oscar worked as a
musician.
3 Oscar didn't have a job. He just looked after his family.
4 The boys learned only negative things about life from
the films.
5 From a very young age, they worried about being
different from other people.
6 Mukunda escaped from the apartment in a frightening
disguise.
7 Crystal Moselle heard about the boys so she wanted to
make a film about them.
8 Their lives are much more normal now.
D
ressed in dark glasses, white shirts, black suits,
and black ties - just like the robbers in Quentin
Tarantino's thrilling movie Reservoir Dogs - they seem
like any group of teenagers trying to look cool. But
there is an astonishing reason why the six Angulo
brothers try so hard to imitate their favourite film stars.
For the Angulos, for 14 years, watching films wasn't
just an escape from the outside world, it was their world.
The six boys and their elder sister were imprisoned in
an overcrowded, messy flat by an eccentric and
tyrannical father who wanted to keep them
from the horrors of modern life in New
York. Home-schooled by their mother
Susanne, the family was so reclusive
that many neighbours didn't even
know they were there. 'Once, we
didn't leave the apartment for a
whole year,' says Govinda.
However, the children were not completely
cut off from the outside world. Their father had a
collection of 5,000 DVDs and videos and the children
watched these films time and time again. Now their
story, which is stranger than any film, is told in a
documentary film called The Wolfpack.

What do you think?

• Why do you think Oscar raised his sons the way he did?
• Do you think the boys suffered as a result of their
upbringing? Can you think of any advantages?
• Why do you think the youngest boys have changed their
names? How does this connect with the quote on p9?
• How do you think their upbringing will influence the way
they bring up their children if they have them?

Bruckman's story.

14 Unit 1 • What's your story?

T he family's extraordinary story began in the late
eighties, when Susanne Reisenbichler, a young
American hippy, met Oscar Angulo, a Peruvian tour
guide and musician, on a trail to the majestic Machu
Picchu ruins. They fell in love and moved to the US,
finally to New York, where they started a family.
Oscar, terrified that his children would fall into a life of
drugs and crime, locked the front door and kept the key.
The family lived on welfare money and only Oscar went
out, usually for food or to collect new films for his children.
The boys say they learned a lot about life from these films.
'We learned about the importance of family from films
such as The Godfather,' says Govinda.
'The films taught us that people are complex and ... flawed,'
says Narayana. 'But there is so much beauty in the world.'
'It was only when we got to our teens that we started to
realize we were living a very different life to other people,'
Mukunda says. 'We began to get more curious. One
morning, I simply woke up and decided to go out while
my dad was getting groceries.'
Wearing a scary home-made mask, modelled on the
one worn by the killer in the horror film Halloween, the
15-year-old escaped onto the city streets. Shocked by
his appearance, a shopkeeper called the police, but
Mukunda refused to answer their questions. The police
took him to a hospital, where he stayed for a week before
being returned home.
'I told Dad things were going to be different,' says
Mukunda. 'He was angry, but he accepted it.'
Dressed in their Reservoir-Dogs look, all six began to go
out on their own. It was on such a trip that they
met documentary film maker
Crystal Moselle.
'We're not supposed to talk to strangers,'
they told her, shyly, when she tried to talk to
them. However, they grew to trust her
because of their shared love of films.
Eventually Crystal uncovered their incredible
story and the boys, seeing it as a way to get
jobs in the film industry, agreed to work with her
to make a documentary.
'I felt I had discovered a lost tribe,' she says. A producer
friend named them 'the Wolf pack'.
Nowadays, the boys are living much more in the real world:
they have friends and one has a girlfriend; most have jobs,
three of them in the film industry. The two youngest have
changed their names to Eddie and Glenn and want to be
rock musicians.
