Description: **You Are Not Alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack**
**Storyline:**
“You Are Not Alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack” is a poignant documentary that reveals a horrific crime that took place during the 2016 San Fermín festival in Spain. The film explores the gang rape of a young woman named Lucia (her real name is withheld to protect her identity). Five men, who called themselves the “Wolf Pack,” trapped her, forced her into a building doorway, and viciously assaulted her while recording the act on their phones. They believed that Lucia’s failure to verbally object equated to consent.
The documentary draws connections between this shocking case and another incident from 2008, involving a woman named Nagore, who was murdered for rejecting a man’s advances. Through pivotal testimonies—such as those from the female police officer who first discovered Lucia, as well as the prosecution and defense attorneys—the film uncovers significant flaws within the Spanish judicial system. It underscores the influence of dissenting voices and social movements in compelling authorities to act ethically.
As the narrative unfolds, viewers encounter unsettling instances, including court officials scrutinizing Lucia’s statement harshly. However, there are also moments of empowerment, emphasizing the critical need for awareness and the elevation of women’s voices in a system that can be easily exploited. “You Are Not Alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack” powerfully highlights the complexities of sexual crimes and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.
