Restrepo?
What does that title even mean? The feature-length documentary looks at a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley during 2007 in an outpost named after their medic Restrepo who was KIA. “Considered one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. Military” Restrepo the audience is thrown headfirst into some of the most wicked and intense battle scenes caught on camera.
Restrepo took home the Grand Jury Prize for Documentaries at the 2010 Sundance film festival and is presented by National Geographic Entertainment so you can count on the quality and integrity of this war-documentary. This film shatters any preconceptions you might have about the documentaries about the war in afghanistan and takes a non-political approach to its storytelling.
The film is harrowing and honest, frightening and confusing but easily one of the best documentaries about modern warfare and the toll it takes on its soldiers.
The film plays at 3:45 PM on Friday Jun 4 and 3:00 PM on Sunday Jun 6 during the festival at Riverdale Cinemas #2. You can view the trailer below and see more info on the film here.
