War/Restrepo

Sebastian Junger's new book War is an astonishing, brilliant, thoughtful and affecting read (interview in the Telegraph here) and his documentary Restrepo, made with the British photographer Tim Hetherington, has won the Grand Jury documentary prize at Sundance. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell the only place you can watch it is in Edinburgh, whereas Get Him To The Greek is on everywhere. Seems an odd system of values we have sometimes!

Here is Junger (also author of The Perfect Storm) talking about the experience in five parts at Uncommon Knowledge:

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

Here's a trailer from the film.
