In 2010, filmmaker Jeff Malmberg released the aforementioned Marwencol documentary, which tells the story of a man named Mark Hogancamp.
This included the creation of Marwencol, a 1/6 scale World War II-era Belgian town.
HIs family was unable to afford the proper rehab, but this opened Hogancamp up to a different kind of therapy: exploration of his imagination.
While this doesn’t seem extraordinary by itself, it was soon found that Hogancamp was including people from his own life as characters within the town.
