Restrepo
Riveting and intimate, this documentary shot in a U.S. outpost in Afghanistan follows-without comment or added perspectives-the activities of a 15-man squad deployed there to engage the enemy in the "war on terror." Known as an extremely dangerous area (and named for a medic killed in action), the valley of Restrepo affords viewers a narrow and intense field of view in this difficult, lengthy struggle in the Middle East.
