Restrepo Blu-ray Disc
Winner of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for documentary, Restrepo chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley, one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military. The movie focuses on 15 soldiers based at Outpost Restrepo, named after a platoon medic killed early in the deployment. Filmed by author Sebastian Junger and award-winning photographer Tim Hetherington, Restrepo takes viewers on their own 90-minute deployment, without comment or agenda.
Co-director Tim Hetherington, an experienced photojournalist who reported on reported social and political conflict worldwide, was killed in fighting in Libya on April 20, 2011.
Additional content such as interviews with filmmakers and soldiers, outtakes, and more included.

From National Geographic:Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry that the Restrepo Blu-ray Disc didn't meet your expectations. Because of the ways the source footage is captured, many documentaries cannot be released in 1080p. In the case of Restrepo, the handheld, guerrilla-style camerawork prevented us from releasing the film in 1080p. Although it is uncommon for online retailers to list the Blu-ray picture resolution in their specs, we would be happy to do this going forward and we thank you for the suggestion.
Everything from the National Geographic Store is unconditionally guaranteed and we want you to be happy with your purchase. If you would like to return this disc for a refund or exchange, please contact us at NGCatalog@NGS.org or 1-888-225-5647.
