Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, RESTREPO chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, "Restrepo," named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. It was considered one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military.
Award-winning journalists Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington created this entirely experiential film: the cameras never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they have just been through a 90-minute deployment.
This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you.
The New York Magazine calls Restrepo, "A riveting journey into combat." Says the Los Angeles Times, "Coming after Hurt Locker ...this movie gives you the same edge-of-your-seat suspense and awe."
