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.

Belongs in a special category I call “Required Viewing"When you get into the real belly of the real monster that war is, it should make you wiser. Among my many thoughts were, “if GoPro cameras came into existence 75 years ago, showing us the horror and in some cases, folly, of war, we’d have made much wiser choices about it over the years.” It was just heart breaking to witness these young men enduring all the stress of combat and the heartbreak of seeing some of their brother soldiers die in front of them. (Now we need a documentary that details the outrageous spending required to maintain and further our massive Federal Death Machine.).Score: 5/5
GreatI can't say anything negative about it, this is a great movie. I recommend it to anyone that has someone special to them in the armed forces. It's touching. It's eye opening. It makes you really appreciate them. I have an army boyfriend whom I love. He's in this video. & I know a little bit more about what he does now..Score: 5/5

Be afraidWhile it did feel as though you were there, it's hard to feel a lot for a bunch of gung-ho soldier of fortune types as they clearly inflict far heavier casualties on the "enemy" and their families than they have to worry about. That people so callous and uneducated end up being a direct PR connection with civilians makes it no small wonder that we aren't winning the "hearts and minds" of the locals. The war is a pathetic and wasteful exercise, as demonstrated by the film. Don't expect that there is some redeeming quality to this other than an excuse to keep the guns factories humming..Score: 3/5

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

From a woman's perspectiveOne of the best documentaries I've seen in a long time. From a woman's perspective, I found this movie moving, inspiring and an absolute must see for anyone who would like to get a better understanding of todays complicated East vs. West world. It HONESTLY portrays just how complex the current war is and gives one an in-depth view from both sides of the border/religion.Score: 5/5
