One platoon, one valley, one year
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.

This is as real as it gets from the comfort of a living room. It will leave you thinking.
The documentary is very well structured, it's not boring with a lot of explanations or moments that can make you sleep, its fast, concise and show us the reality this men passes through. Basically they are there because a road would be built in korengal and that road woud be very important for the population there, so they could have a easier route up toward the Pech River Valley, and their job was to protect the people there. But this makes me thinking... i have so much respect for these guys, because these men that lay their life on the line. Its just a simple thing, its a road! Its simple for me and for people like us that lives in civilized countries... and this man can die, and some of them die, because of this... Another thing that is beautiful and shows the brotherhood is that the name Restrepo comes from one friend of them that died in combat and 2 months after his death they pushed into the valley and established a new outpost, so they name it Restrepo. This outpost was crucial, because it changed the dynamic in the entire valley. Overall this documentary is a must watch, 10/10! After this one, KORENGAL is the next to watch! R.I.P: Vimoto - Restrepo - Rougle - and all the other men!
Very moving documentary. I have so much respect for these guys. I could never do what they do. The utmost respect to these men that lay their life on the line.
Another movie glorifying meaningless killing. I mean seriously, when one of the Americans who just killed an opposing human being said "I just wish I was closer so I could see him die better" it made me feel sick. Pass.
Extremely gripping, extremely tough to watch. Especially difficult to watch this as a therapist, as you’re literally just watching trauma occur in real-time as it unfolds, thanks to some truly shocking camerawork by Hetherington and Junger. Wonderful film, but truly abhorrent subject matter. May all those involved find peace.
