We at Emmaus Home love the 2017 film
Summer in the Forest.
From the film's website:
Like countless others Philippe, Michel, Andre and Patrick
were labeled 'idiots', locked away and forgotten in violent asylums,
until the 1960s, when the young philosopher Jean Vanier took a stand and
secured their release - the first time in history that anyone had
beaten the system. Together they created L'Arche, a commune at the edge
of a beautiful forest near Paris. A quiet revolution was born. Now in his 80s, and still at L'Arche, Jean has discovered
something that most of us have forgotten - what it is to be human, to be
foolish, and to be happy.
SUMMER IN THE FOREST invites us to abandon the rat race and
forge new friendships. Amid the ancient trees, Philippe, Patrick, Jean
and the others welcome us into their lives. If there are rules to break,
they will be broken and if there is a truth to be told, they will tell
it. Michel reveals his war torn past, Andre is desperate for a date, and
young David will prove himself a hero in the fight against the forces
of evil. (
