Synopsis
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.
