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.
