Restrepo: The Front Line in Afghanistan
Restrepo – An unbelievable film.
Here’s an intense new doc from Sebastian Junger (Perfect Storm) and Tim Hetherington (‘Liberia: an Uncivil War’ and ‘Long Story bit by Bit : Liberia Retold’). The film chronicles a unit’s real experiences at a remote outpost in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley. The danger is real and it is palpable on film. Even the crew’s safety is unsure throughout the captivating and introspective look at some exemplary U.S. soldiers on the front lines. The doc has been called a real life version of the Hurt Locker. The film won 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary. Riveting emotional footage – not for the feint of heart.
