“Restrepo” is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers to 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 US military. This is an entirely experiential film: our cameras never leave the valley, we dont interview generals or diplomats. Our only goal is to make you feel as though you have just done a 90-minute deployment. This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you.

His friend Chris Hondros serious injured as well.  A  Pulitzer Prize-nominated Getty photographer. I’ve seen his name on many of the photos I’ve posted on my blogs.

Hope he pulls through.  Michael Brown a freelancer was also injured.

I don’t know why people are over there.

You know they don’t like americans or british people it’s too dangerous to be sending the top journalists.
