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 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.
Sebastian Junger ( The Perfect Storm) and Tim Hetherington filmed hundreds of hours of footage. I picked up Jungers book, WAR which describes everything that happened. Picked it up last night, i am almost done with it.

This will be airing on National Geographic on the 29th of Nov at 9 set your DVR's

This will blow away the hurtlocker (garbage movie)

On another note Sal Giunta the first living Medal Of Honor recipient since Vietnam (will be receiving it on the 16th) is in it.
