Introduction

Korengal picks up where Restrepo left off; the same men, the same valley, the same commanders, but a very different look at the experience of war.

Outline

Once again we meet the men of Battle Company, 2nd Battalion, 503nd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team in 2007-8.

They are deployed at one of the most dangerous places on earth – certainly the most dangerous place, at the time, for US forces: the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan.

Journalist Sebastian Junger and photojournalist Tim Hetherington were embedded with the 2nd Platoon of B Company and captured their daily lives.

Restrepo (2010)

Restrepo films a year with one platoon in the deadliest valley in Afghanistan.
