Together with photographer Tim Hetherington, Junger filmed the soldiers while they were stationed in a hilltop outpost in the Korangal valley - at the time a region of key strategic importance and fierce fighting. The resulting documentary, Restrepo, is the name the soldiers gave to their outpost, in honour of a colleague who was killed early in the deployment.
