The Marvelous World of Marwencol. (Mental Health/Film)

Fascinating documentary by filmmaker Jeff Malmberg about the life of Mark Hogancamp. Mark was viciously beaten several years ago resulting in traumatic brain damage. He eventually ran out of money to pay for his medical bills, and as a result created his own world as a form of art therapy. The documentary opens that world for us, and it looks incredible.
