Theatrical Trailer For Award Winning Documentary MARWENCOL

Thanks to everyone keeping the faith with the blog as well the Peoples Movies, its been a hard time for all, I'm doing my best with a new job and now very limited time to post and been let down by several people who offered to help out and basically stabbed me in the back.
 There is however one person true to his word and helped me out thats Cinehouse supporter Pierre who alerted me to this, the theatrical trailer for MARWENCOL. This is a documentary is about Mark Hogancamp a man who was brutally assulted and beaten to a pulp left for dead leaving Mark with Brain damage and massive loss of memory. The documentary catalogues Mark's fascinatiing unusal road to recovery by creating 1:16 scale fictional town of Marwencol set in WW2 all created in his backyard and watching the movie you can see he has become consumed in the whole town.
The movie is also further evidence that people's road to recovery from a pyshical injury & psychological scars are different and the so called 'convental' way isn't always the answer.Marwencol is a captivating movie which you deeply connect with Mark and you do have the feeling you are on that road to recovery with him, its sad but deeply uplifting.
The movie has won numerous awards including SXSW, Cleveland, Seattle and Comic-Con Best Documentary Awards, so if thats not proof to check this out  well enough said. IFC Films will release the movie in USA on October 8th but no word on the British release, hopefully cinematically but more likely to be direct to DVD, trailer after the break....
