who died in restrepo
The death of Pembroke Pines Pfc. Juan Restrepo: Tragedy becomes a movie. For 20 years and nine months, Juan Sebastian Restrepo was Marcela Pardo's son. For 17 months, he was a U.S. Army soldier. Now, because of an award-winning documentary, his name is becoming shorthand for America's vexing war in Afghanistan.
Plot[edit] The documentary takes place between 2007 and 2008 in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan. The film consists mainly of interviews with men in a platoon stationed at outpost Restrepo. Forty-two soldiers died in Korengal Valley before the United States pulled out in April 2010. Unlike Restrepo, which was a film mostly about battle, Korengal examines the military life and experiences of those same men.
