Restrepo

Tonight Southwestern College held a screening of the Oscar nominated documentary "Restrepo." The screening was open to students, faculty, and the community of Winfield. The screening took place in the Richardson Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m.

"Restrepo" takes place in the Korengal valley during the Afghanistan war. American journalists, Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington, were embedded into a platoon that was deployed in the valley for 15 months. The documentary allows for viewers to delve inside the true life of an American soldier. The movie will cause for one to truly think about how much they have to be thankful for.

The majority of those that attended were individuals from the community and professors. Only a handful of students attended, but I encourage more students to attend Sebastian Junger's docking lecture at 7 p.m. March 5.
