Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging

“Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians-but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life. The loss of closeness that comes at the end of deployment may explain the high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by military veterans today.” Tribe is available at Amazon : http://amzn.to/2sf4Akm

RESTREPO

“RESTREPO is a feature-length documentary that chronicles the deployment of a platoon of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley. The movie focuses on a remote 15-man outpost, “Restrepo,” named after a platoon medic who was killed in action. It was considered one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military. This is an entirely experiential film: the cameras never leave the valley; there are no interviews with generals or diplomats. The only goal is to make viewers feel as if they have just been through a 90-minute deployment. This is war, full stop. The conclusions are up to you.” Available on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2rMvMWk

“On April 20, 2011, shortly after the release of his documentary “Restrepo,” photographer and filmmaker Tim Hetherington was killed by mortar fire in the city of Misrata, Libya. Those moments ended a brilliant ten-year career in which Hetherington not only covered such dramatic frontline stories, but also transcended to become one of the most important journalists of his generation.”
