You Are Not Alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE: FIGHTING THE WOLF PACK documents the events surrounding a notorious case of gang rape in Pamplona, Spain, in 2016. A young woman and a friend decided to attend the festival of San Fermin, which includes the famous running of the bulls. The friends became separated, and the young woman was raped by four young men who called themselves "the wolf pack." Court verdicts led to tremendous public outcry, and the case went all the way to the Supreme Court of Spain. The case had a broad impact on society, sparking a lot of discussion and controversy, which brought about some positive changes. But the hard work of changing laws and attitudes isn't done yet.
Is It Any Good?
This is a gripping, ultimately moving documentary about a tough subject that's handled with tact and respect. You Are Not Alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack goes beyond taking a look at a single case and explores violence against women in particular, in various forms. Attitudes and laws, both of individuals and of society as a whole; activism to bring about change; telling your truth; persevering in the face of tremendous backlash; and lots of other important topics are covered while telling the terrible events of the case. Rape and murder are difficult to talk about, but for older teens who can handle the subject, this movie can be a good starting point for important talks about these issues and more.
