Restrepo: The Front Line in Afghanistan

DateTuesday, September 21, 2010 at 09:58AM

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 oupost in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley.  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 hearted.

For more information, check out the Restrepo web site.
