The Wolfpack

TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary
This two-part documentary follows the lives of the six Angulo brothers: Bhagavan (23), Govinda (22), Narayana (22), Mukunda (20), Krsna (18) and Jagadisa (16).
The brothers have spent their entire lives locked away from society in an apartment on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Nicknamed "The Wolfpack", they're all exceedingly bright, they are home-schooled, they have no acquaintances outside of their family and have practically never left their home.
All they know of the outside world is gleaned from the films they watch obsessively and recreate meticulously, using elaborate homemade props and costumes.
When one of the brothers escapes the apartment the power dynamics in the house are transformed, and all the boys begin to dream of venturing out.
Armed with unprecedented access into the subjects' world and vast archive of home movies, first-time director Crystal Moselle crafts a portrait of an extraordinary family, capturing the thrill of the Wolfpack's discoveries without skirting the darker questions of abuse and confinement that weigh upon all of them.
The Wolfpack charts a fascinating coming of age story and becomes a true example of the power of movies to transform and save lives.

Robert Irvine hosts this five-episode culinary competition.
In each episode of this globe-trotting series, four talented chefs compete across three rounds of culinary gameplay as they are transported to the greatest food destinations around the world via immersive LED screen backdrops that have the chefs traveling the globe without ever having to leave the arena.
Joining Robert on this global journey is award-winning chef Daniela Soto-Innes as resident judge, along with appearances from special guest judges at each destination with ties to the region.
During every round, Robert reveals which city the competitors are virtually traveling to, as the chefs are faced with that location's premier cuisine and are limited to the local ingredients in preparing the most inventive and delicious global dishes possible.
The chefs that cannot master the local ingredients face elimination by the judges in each round until the last competitor standing earns a trip to one of the three destinations featured in their episode.
But the journey is not yet done, as the winners from the four preliminary heats meet in the finale for a chance to walk away with the $25,000 grand prize.
Don't miss all the action and adventure with stops in the most magnificent culinary spots on the planet, including Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; Paris, France; Mumbai, India; Florence, Italy; Lima, Peru and more.
In the series premiere, "From Hot Pots to Cassava": Robert welcomes four chefs with a love of global cuisine to a culinary experience spanning over 13,000 miles.
At their first culinary destination, the chefs stop in Beijing, China, where they must use regional ingredients and only cook with the traditional Beijing hot pot and nothing more.
The competitors that master the intricacies of the hot pot will move on to the next city, Tel Aviv, Israel, where they must create Israeli Shipudiya and Salatim, or skewers and salad.
In the third round, Robert transports the chefs to Accra, Ghana, where the final two competitors will need to work outside their comfort zones to create dishes using plantains and cassava.
Ultimately, one chef will embrace the unfamiliar ingredients best to sway guest judges Eric Adjepong, Einat Admony, and Shirley Chung to earn a spot in the finale.
In another episode, Robert takes the competitors across three continents, including a stop in Memphis, Tennessee, home of the low and slow BBQ, to see which chefs will successfully move on to the final city of Kyoto, Japan, where they will face one of their most daunting challenges – creating a dish using fresh tofu for the one and only, Chef Masaharu Morimoto.
