| Sundance festival winner is documentary of American soldiers in Afghanistan. The film team were embedded with the unit as it took up a posting in a dangerous valley area and then set out to set up a forward outpost (the Restrepo of the title) to try and confront the local militias. Amazing footage over the year odd period they were based in the area, certain members inevitably getting killed in ambushes and some very revealing after the event interviews with the survivors after they had left the battle zone and were in Italy. While many reviewers have commented on the authenicity of the documentary and a great war movie, the one abiding impression I come away with was given how these soldiers are trained and used in missions and the tactics applied in fighting the local militias, this is a conflict like Vietnam that the USA and allies will never win from the evidence in this film. |
