THE WOLFPACK: SIX BROTHERS WHO GREW UP LOCKED IN A NEW YORK CITY APARTMENT ON “20/20”

— -- First Broadcast Interview with Five of the Brothers, Their Mother and Exclusive Access to Their Apartment and Clips From their DocumentaryAirs Friday, June 19, 10 PM ET on ABC

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 a new 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.

Elizabeth Vargas has the first broadcast interview with five of the brothers, their mother Susanne and exclusive access into the apartment they were raised in. The hour-long “20/20” includes exclusive clips from the documentary, an emotional reunion of long-lost family members, and a surprise dream encounter with one of the brothers’ long time idols. “20/20” airs on FRIDAY, JUNE 19 (10:00 – 11:00 pm ET) on the ABC TELEVISION NETWORK.

“We weren’t allowed out, outside of the home,” son Narayana Angulo, 22, told “20/20’s” Elizabeth Vargas. “We were forbidden to communicate with anybody unless we were told otherwise.”

They had one lifeline that connected them to the outside world: Their father’s movie collection, with more than 2,000 films. “I think, in a way, movies, they shaped us who we are,” said Govinda Angulo, also 22 and Narayana’s twin.

“The Wolfpack,” which won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in January, opens in theaters nationwide June 19.

“20/20” is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and David Muir. David Sloan is senior executive producer.
