Winner of the 2010 Sundance Grand Jury Prize, and heralded as possibly the best war film ever made, RESREPO focuses on the deployment of a US platoon in Afghanistan's hostile Korengal Valley. Over the course of 15 months, the two filmmakers Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger(author of 'The Perfect Storm') lived with the unit shadowing their every move, resulting in extrodinary footage. from spectacular combat and ambush scenes to difficult discussions with local village elders, civilian and military deaths, never before has such access been granted. RESTREPO is as close as it gets to seeing what life as a soldier is really like.

 

I heard about this Docu/Film a few weeks ago and managed to catch a short version on National Geographic Channel on Sky a couple of weeks ago,ever since then ive been saying to the maude i need to get it on DVD,anyhow she's come up trumps and got it me for Crimbo. This is a must see, think Ross Kemp in afgan,only alot more hard hitting. It really is packed full of adreneline moments,and also the odd tear jerker. If you can download,buy,beg or borrow then it will be worth your while.

I've never seen a full episode of Ross Kemp in Afghanistan, as it contains Ross Kemp.

However, I may watch the episode that he gets mortally wounded

You can youtube it and have a look at a few scenes,it will give you a taste of it!

ive seen the docu/film that was featured on sky, was fascinating viewing. one of the best ive seen about the currents conflict,

If you click on the link and watch the short clip,it's about a soldier from the tour getting the 'Medal of Honour' for his actions in rescuing another soldier who has been fatally wounded and was being kidnapped by the Taliban to have as a trophy. Emotional stuff!!
