Winner of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for documentary, RESTREPO chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley, one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military. The movie focuses on 15 soldiers based at "Outpost Restrepo," named after a platoon medic killed early in the deployment. Filmed by author Sebastian Junger ("War") and award-winning photographer Tim Hetherington, RESTREPO takes viewers on their own 90-minute deployment, without comment or agenda. This is war, full stop. A National Geographic Entertainment release.
Directors Hetherington and Junger spend a year with the 2nd Battalion of the United States Army located in one of Afghanistan's most dangerous valleys. The documentary provides insight and empathy on how to win the battle through hard work, deadly gunfights and mutual friendships while the unit must push back the Taliban.

RestrepoWow, seems like a waste of time, money and human life to be there! I really don’t think these people are a threat as long we’re not occupying their country. Cruising around shoeless on their donkeys doesn’t seem to be a big threat to come across the world to get us!.Score: 1/5

ObservationsI would have liked to watch a documentary like this during the time of the war in Iraq, years ago because it was all very mysterious. It looks like they only had one type of gun, and saw a bit of technology, yet the soldiers were just using their rifle scopes to look for enemies. You would think that there would be more useful tactical technology available for that type of combat. They did have a fairly organized camp. There was too much swearing rather than a consenus about the job but I mean the general did ask some questions, it was okay, yet I myself wouldn't feel that good there, not unless the team had the spirit more for themselves. I don't think that I like hearing about hearts and minds, but they should just be a team and they didn't want to stay for the extra thousand dollars? Boy is that ever nuts. I'm happy to see a military deployment documentary, and it was enlightening..Score: 4/5
AwesomeAccurately portrays what most civilians can't or won't understand of what happens on tour with frontline troops. The TiC's are real, as anyone who has been in combat can attest to..Score: 5/5
Well worth your timeIt was interesting to watch a war documentary that focused on the men in the combat zone with no news footage of politicians, talking heads or anything other than interviews with the guys on the ground. Definitely worth watching for a fresh take on a controversial war..Score: 5/5
AmazingI have been considering joinging the armed forces here in Canada and have always wondered what being in the feild is like. This movie is a perfect depiction of the harshness and intensity that is the front lines. People have no idea what it means to be in a war and to fight for your country even after watching this movie. This movie will start people on understanding what our troops do for us. Filled with comedy, action, and realism all come together to create and all around must have experience..Score: 5/5
As real as it getsWatching Restrepo, you have to constantly remind yourself that this is not the most incredible Academy Award worthy acting you've ever seen. This is real! The camaraderie is real, the blood and sweat are real and what smacks you in the face every now and then to remind you that this is not a movie is that the emotions are undeniably real..Score: 5/5
