On the National Geographic Channel; RESTREPO is a feature-length documentary that 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. This is an entirely experiential film: the cameras never leave the soldiers; 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.

It'll have to go to the DVR...I'm asleep by that time, got a 0400 wakeup every morning
I saw it in the theatres and it is worth the time. However a better representation of the life in Restrepo is the book from which it is based, "War" by Sebastian Junger.
I've already marked it for recording. I'm so pleased that it's being shown this quickly on television.
Thanks for the tip...I'd have forgotten to record it otherwise.
I did watching it now even if its half over
Talking about a Band of Brothers, all heroes some going back for more tours. My admiration is higher now. I tell you I didn’t want to be a trooper and now I know why! First they hump all their own gear in, then the expect to get hit daily and then there are 5, 6, 7 firefights a day! At most we would get into one firefight a day on the river. Jeesh the looks in those soldiers eyes after the battles were haunting. I think a couple have PTSD for sure.
Large. Round. Ones.
Download "War" on your iPad -- the enhanced version. It has "Restrepo" video embedded, so as you read the chapters, you can watch...waaaaaaaaaaaaay cool!
