Veteran writer and journalist Sebastian Junger and celebrated cinematographer and photographer Tim Hetherington make their feature debut with this riveting documentary about a year in the life of US soldiers as they embark their duties in one of the deadliest posts in Afghanistan's Korangal Valley. It's a war documentary unlike any other where it takes the audience to war with the young men who have no idea what awaits them. It's a heartbreaking journey for everybody involved where lives are lost on both sides with an invisible enemy targeting the soldiers and the civilians caught in the middle. The rough and breath taking setting seems a challenge without the war. It's documentary film making at its best where the film makers risked their lives to show that war is indeed hell. YRCinema's coverage of films at the Marché du Film at the 63rd Festival de Cannes.
