Korengal
This is what war feels like
Directed by Sebastian Junger
Produced by Motion Picture Group, The
An unflinching, intimate documentary that captures the psychological and emotional toll of combat through the eyes of soldiers enduring one of Afghanistan's deadliest valleys.
Korengal picks up where Restrepo left off; the same men, the same valley, the same commanders, but a very different look at the experience of war.
