01
Why this pick

Why this pick
A former Marine's firsthand footage offers an unusually intimate, skeptical portrait of deployment life, preserving Restrepo's ground-level immersion while giving more space to the aftermath of constant tension.

Why this pick
It combines frontline Afghanistan footage with a soldier's difficult return home, extending Restrepo's concern with the bonds and psychological costs formed inside a small combat unit.
