Find this Film: Award-Winning Documentary "Marwencol"

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend a screening of the documentary Marwencol on the campus of Boston University.  I had never heard of the film before or of its subject Mark, a man who suffered brain damage after being attacked outside a bar and subsequently created a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard.  This film is bizarre, unexpected, and entirely affecting.  Marwencol won the Grand Jury Prize at the South by Southwest Film Festival, the Boston Society of Film Critics gave it Best Documentary, and Rotten Tomatoes awarded it the Golden Tomato-Best Documentary of 2010 (among many other awards.)  The film is in very limited release but it is worth checking to see if it is playing in a town near you!  Below I have posted the Theatrical Trailer as well as a list of where Marwencol is currently (and soon-to-be) screening.
