The Oscar-nominated documentary Restrepo airs on National Geographic Channel at 8pm ET, 2 February.

A harrowing, intelligent, and mesmerizing documentary following U.S. troops for a year in Afghanistan, Restrepo is, in the end, about how soldiers deal with loss.

Newly nominated for a Best Documentary Oscar, the film airs 2 February on National Geographic Channel. See PopMatters’ review.
