Forgotten Fools (Vergeten Dwazen)
Frans van Erkel
Netherlands 2006 / 59 mins
In July
1992, a group of patients from a psychiatric clinic in Jakes, Bosnia were
driven from their country by war. Since 1996 they have been living in
clean, if not exactly homely, rooms in part of a refugee centre in Debrecen,
Hungary.
The patients want nothing more than to return home. The doctors express surprise that a place cannot be found for the patients anywhere in their own country. Later in Bosnia, the filmmakers meet a psychiatrist from the former institute; old video recordings show the building, ravaged by war, and patients rambling about, unable to escape.
The filmmakers present their families back home with evidence of the patients' wishes; but nobody wants to know. Since Bosnia lacks both doctors and medicines, the families. like the director of a new medical institute, believe it would be best for the "forgotten fools" to remain in Hungary.
