documentary truly hit home for me. Because I truly love the US Military, and one day I will be a U.S Army Officer. After watching this documentary, it gave me even more reason to join the Army.

Restrepo explores the history of Canada and its laws that were put into place when people began to settle in Canada.

Fear, strength, and courage. This is what the film Restrepo consists of while displaying the everyday lives of men in what is considered the most dangerous postings in the U.S Military (Hetherington, Junger 2009). A 90-minute documentary of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley, fighting each day to protect themselves and our country.
