Restrepo Screening and Q&A Passes

IAVA is excited to provide both member veterans and civilian supporters with opportunities to attend free screenings to Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington's award-winning and gritty documentary, Restrepo, at various installations across the country.

The film is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley. 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.

The filmmakers will be on hand for a Q&A at each event. Below, you can watch both the film's trailer as well as IAVA Executive Director Paul Rieckhoff's interview with filmmaker Sebastian Junger. Then sign up to attend a screening near you!

The official Restrepo trailer.

Watch IAVA Executive Director Paul Rieckhoff's interview with author and filmmaker Sebastian Junger who was embedded with the 173rd Airborne Brigade's Battle Company in Afghanistan at various times between June 2007 and June 2008. Click here to watch.
