The documentary Restrepo, made from footage filmed at the same time Sebastian Jünger wrote his book War (http://www.amazon.com/WAR-Sebastian-Junger/dp/0446556246/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_1), premieres November 29th on the National Geographic Channel. People who have On Demand through Comcast can actually watch it right now through On Demand.
If you like this move and haven't read the book that inspired it, Sebastian Junger's "War," add that to your "must read" list. Junger is brilliant. He also wrote "The Perfect Storm" and was a dear friend of Tim Hetherington, Restrepo's director.
War by Sebastian Junger is a fantastic look into the War in Afghanistan. I feel like not many people have much of an idea of what the fighting is like over there and this really shines a light on it. At the time this was written the Korengal Valley was proclaimed to be the deadliest place on Earth.
Give the book War (Sebastion Junger) a read. It's not an Afghan insurgency we are fighting. Most of the enemy are being imported from other countries through Pakistan. Foreign men are paying the Taliban to come in and shoot at Americans.

Have a listen to this Ted talk by Sebastian Junger. I also strongly recommend his book War.
There's an entire documentary and a book that details exactly what he's talking about (Restrepo and War respectively).
edit: Hell, there's plenty more of that if you spend enough time on 03xx section of TerminalLance.com forums.

If you want a better understanding as to what life was like in the Korengal valley read this book it is very good.

WAR by Sebastian Junger has been on my to-read list for some time. Rave reviews on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/WAR-Sebastian-Junger/dp/0446556246?tag=amaz98-20
I've read Infidel, War, and seen Restrepo. I read the story today on BBC, though I couldn't quite place where I heard that name before.
This title just made feel physically sick. RIP Tim Hetherington.

Not saying it does. At all. Read the book, it was great. It is called "War"

Junger is one of the journalists in Restrepo. It's not a pro-american book.
