Published 15 years, 6 months ago
Description
The documentary Marwencol is about a man finding himself after a tragedy. The film was a similar journey for Jeff Malmberg.
Elvis hosts director and editor Jeff Malmberg to talk about his award-winning documentary Marwencol, which tells the extraordinary story of Mark Hogencamp. Having survived a horrific beating by five men near his hometown of Kingston, New York in 2000, Hogencamp's long road to recuperation became focused on art, specifically building a fictional Belgian town (Marwencol) in his backyard and populating it with figures from World War II using military figures and Barbie dolls.
