Checking in with Oscar-nominated RESTREPO filmmakers Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington

I interviewed Restrepo filmmakers Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington back at the end of November, and then just last week did a follow-up with them, on the eve of the Oscars, for the Huffington Post. They'll be competing with Exit Through the Gift Shop, Inside Job, Waste Land, and Gasland for the Academy Award. (All worthy films, although I have my suspicions about exactly how much of an actual documentary Exit is.) Restrepo is one of the finest films about war ever made and should be required viewing for all Americans.
