The documentary RESTREPO was screened at One World Berlin human rights film festival on November 29, 2010. Directors' Statement The war in Afghanistan has become highly politicized, but soldiers rarely take part in that discussion. Our intention was to capture the experience of combat, boredom and fear through the eyes of the soldiers themselves. Their lives were our lives: we did not sit down with their families, we did not interview Afghans, we did not explore geopolitical debates. Soldiers are living and fighting and dying at remote outposts in Afghanistan in conditions that few Americans back home can imagine. Their experiences are important to understand, regardless of one's political beliefs. Beliefs are a way to avoid looking at reality. This is reality. Here is the video of the Q&A following the film. Guests: Ottfried Nassauer (BITS), Thomas Wiegold. Moderation: Werner Koep-Kerstin (Humanistische Union)
Restrepo (2010) IMDb: www.imdb.com CinemaComMel:
* Oscars 2011 Nominee * This is the real Moden Warfare - A year with one platoon in the deadliest valley in Afghanistan. The film-makers dug in with the Second Platoon in one of Afghanistan's most strategically crucial valleys reveals extraordinary insight into the surreal combination of back breaking labor, deadly firefights, and camaraderie as the soldiers painfully push back the Taliban. Directed by: Sebastian Junger, Tim Hetherington Released on 2010
From the documentary called "Restrepo" following a Company of Paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne as they fight for 16 months straight in Afghanistans' Korengal Valley.
Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Documentary at Sundance Film Festival 2010, Restrepo chronicles the development of a platoon of US 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 US military. This is an entirely experimental film: the cameras never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals or diplomats. The only goal is to make you feel as if you have just been through a 94-minute deployment. This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you. natgeotv.com.au
"Restrepo" World Television Premiere, Monday November 29 9P on National Geographic Channel.
On November 16, 2010, Staff Sergeant Sal Giunta of the 173rd Airborne will become the first living Medal of Honor recipient since the Vietnam War. His actions occurred in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley duiring the deployment chronicled in the movie "Restrepo." This fourteen-minute video tells his story.
The Common Good presented an exclusive screening of the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury award winning documentary, Restrepo. This powerful documentary chronicles the one-year deployment of a platoon of American soldiers at one of the most dangerous outposts in Afghanistan. Featuring a Q&A session with directors, Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington, and moderated by ABC news host, Cynthia McFadden, the evening was a rousing success. Filmaker, New York-based writer and journalist, Sebastian Junger, is the bestselling author of "The Perfect Storm," "Fire" and "A Death in Belmont." He first reported from Afghanistan in 1996 and, four years later, was one of the last Westerners to accompany legendary guerrilla fighter Ahmed Shah Massoud (while reporting for National Geographic) during his war against the Taliban. Junger has reported for Vanity Fair Magazine from many war zones across the world: he was trapped in Monrovia during the Liberian civil war in 2003, caught in Sierra Leone during the civil war of 2000, and briefly held by "oil rebels" in the Niger Delta in 2006. His October, 1999 article in Vanity Fair, "The Forensics of War," won a National Magazine Award for Reporting. He has also won an Alfred I. duPont Broadcast Award for his cinematography while embedded with American soldiers for ABC News. Junger's newest book, "War," is about his time in the Korengal Valley with Second Platoon. Tim Hetherington is an acclaimed photographer and film maker who has reported on ...
