Tim Hetherington R.I.P.

Tim Hetherington directed & produced the popular documentary 'Restrepo', which follows the deployment of a US Army platoon mostly in the Korengal Valley.

It was a pretty neutral, sobering glimpse into the war, whether you're for or against.

Ugh.

Restrepo is an incredible film. My younger brother is a freshly-minted second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, so I'm very thankful that there are people like Tim in the world who can help people like me see what soldiers go through.
