RESTREPO (2010)

Cast
Plot
Two war-correspondents, Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger, embed themselves with a small platoon dug-in as the furthest outpost in the hostile Korengal valley, Afghanistan. We follow the stressed out grunts under-fire, in their shelter and out on patrol. Perhaps the most frightening thing in this documentary is, despite the well-meaning officer in charge, their inability, and total lack of conception of how, to deal with the locals, 'Restrepo' received the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
