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 U.S. military. This is an entirely experiential film: The cameras never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they have just been through a 94-minute deployment. This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I highly recommend this film to all of our readers.<\/strong><\/p>\n An information page for Restrepo is <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a>, including video.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n RESTREPO<\/strong>, an award winning documentary, was based on (or more precisely, closely related to) the book\u00a0WAR<\/strong><\/a> I previously reviewed WAR <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and the movie RESTREPO here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An important announcement from my colleague, Lexington Green: Lexington Green – (1) RESTREPO Monday, 11\/29\/10 at 9PM ET\/PT; (2) Maj.Gen.
