Movie Review - (You Are Not Alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack 2024)
This Netflix Documentary (You are not alone: Fighting the Wolf Pack), through deep investigation and information gathered from various sources, tells the story of the gang rape of an 18-year-old woman that took place at the San Fermín Bull Running Festival (Pamplona). That day i.e. on 7th July – 2016, five men, one of whom was a Guardia Civil man and the other from the Spanish Army, Seville. They made a video of it and posted it on the public platform WhatsApp. Although the group Wolf Pack (La Manada), after circulating the rape video in the WhatsApp group, they were found guilty of rape, the victim did not get the justice she deserves because they were not able to prove that the violence was involved in the act.
