Profile of Restrepo

The mood of Restrepo is sincere, rough, and thought provoking. The plot centers around military life, danger, and themes of mind and soul. It is a documentary and war movie. In approach, Restrepo is serious and realistic. It takes place, at least partly, on a military base and in a battlezone. The setting is Afghanistan and the Middle East. Restrepo happens in contemporary times. The movie is known for being a Sundance Festival winner and critically acclaimed. Note that it includes profanity.

Summary of Restrepo

In 2008 Sebastian Junger (The Perfect Storm) and Tim Hetherington dug in with the men of Second Platoon for a year. Afghanistan's Korengal Valley, a stronghold of al Qaeda and the Taliban, has proven to be one of the U.S. Army's deadliest challenges. It is here that the platoon lost their comrade, PFC Juan Restrepo, and erected an outpost in his honor. Up close and personal, Junger and Hetherington gain extraordinary insight into the surreal combination of backbreaking labor and deadly firefights that are a way of life at Outpost Restrepo.
