DVD – Restrepo
If you haven’t
seen this film then consider to have technically seen it because I am
about to paint a picture of how this 2010 film depicts all of the real
events that took place just a few years back. The film is called
Restrepo and this military film or simply put it is documentary film
about the Afghanistan war, directed by American journalist Sebastian
Junger and British/American photojournalist Tim Hetherington. In general
overview, the film explores the year that Junger and Hetherington spent
in Afghanistan on assignment for Vanity Fair, embedded with the Second
Platoon, B Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment
(airborne), 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team of the U.S. Army in
the Korengal valley. The 2nd Platoon is depicted defending an
Observation Post (OP) named OP Restrepo, for PFC Juan Sebastian
Restrepo, a Colombian-born naturalized U.S. citizen platoon medic who
was killed earlier in the campaign. The Korengal Valley was at the time
regarded as "the deadliest place on Earth" (as stated in the documentary
itself, trailers, and television commercials on the National Geographic
Channel). The goal of the deployment is to clear the Korengal Valley of
insurgency and continue to gain the trust of the local populace. They
begin their deployment at OP Korengal, and early in the campaign PFC
Restrepo is killed, as well as another team member, PFC Vimoto. The film
portrays negotiations with the local people, construction of an
advanced outpost, OP Restrepo, as well as the challenges and
intermittent firefights they faced.
I
mean to top it all the film since its initial release it has garnered
the immaculate achievements such as being awarded the grand Jury
Festival for best documentary at the 2010 Sundance
Film Festival proving the critics wrongs as they doubted it from the
very first time it premiered. Surely you too you wouldn’t
like this opportunity of watching this documentary film to just bypass
you like that when especially I have managed to paint you a picture of
everything unfolds in this film.
