KORENGAL picks up where the Academy-Award-nominated RESTREPO left off – the same men, the same valley, the same commanders, but with a very different look at the experience of war. KORENGAL explains how war works, what it feels like, and what it does to the young men who fight it. As one soldier cheers when he kills an enemy fighter, another looks into the camera and asks if God will forgive him for what he has done. As one soldier grieves the loss of his friend in combat, another explains why he misses the war now that his deployment is over. Every bit as intense and affecting as its predecessor, KORENGAL goes a step further in bringing the war into people's living rooms back home.
